Sanatkumāra said:
As he was speaking thus, O Vyāsa, the blessed Hara smiled and said:
“All this will belong to you by my command. / 8.123.10
You shall observe the vow of the archery treatise for one year.
Therefore, you must dwell right here, O scion of the Bhṛgu lineage.” / 11
Then the blessed three-eyed god himself
prescribed for him the terrible vow, and he observed it with self-restraint. / 12
