Scene: A contrast tableau: dignified Bhāradvāja-gotra brāhmaṇas with sacred thread and ritual marks, yet some appear stern and dim in aura; beside them, a gentle luminous sage instructs, suggesting transformation from roughness to tejas through discipline.

No specific tīrtha is mentioned; the verse continues a gotra–pravara catalog.
Five pravaras are noted for the Bhāradvāja gotra, relevant to ritual identification.
