Answer 2

Indirect speech, sometimes also called as reported speech usually talks about a time in the past or sometimes about the future, but not the present. It does not use quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it does not have to be a word for word.

So, for the given sentence, the indirect speech will be - 

Shiva's mother told Shiva firmly to enjoy himself only when he could afford it.
