HV 10.1
सत्यव्रतस् तु भक्त्या च कृपया च प्रतिज्ञया । विश्वामित्रकलत्रं तद् बभार विनये स्थितः ॥
satya-vratas tu bhaktyā ca kṛpayā ca pratijñayā | viśvāmitra-kalatraṃ tad babhāra vinaye sthitaḥ
Satyavrata — with devotion, with compassion, with promise — supported that family of Viśvāmitra, standing in humility.
The Living Words
*Bhaktyā ca kṛpayā ca pratijñayā*, 'with devotion, compassion, and promise'. *Viśvāmitra-kalatraṃ babhāra*, 'supported Viśvāmitra's family'. *Vinaye sthitaḥ*, 'standing in humility'.
The Heart of It
The verse names three compound qualities. *Bhaktyā kṛpayā pratijñayā* — 'by devotion, compassion, and promise'. The Varkari tradition's reading: genuine support of another's family is three-fold — not compassion alone (which is emotion), not promise alone (which is contract), but the weaving of *bhakti + kṛpā + pratijñā* together. Jñāneśvar's Haripāṭh's teaching that bhakti-based support is never one-dimensional — has HV 10.1 as its Sanskrit ground. All three fibers hold the help together.
