नो चेत्कीर्तय मे कञ्चिदन्यं तु चिरजीविनम् । पृच्छामि तेन तं गत्वा येन वेत्ति न वा च सः
no cetkīrtaya me kañcidanyaṃ tu cirajīvinam | pṛcchāmi tena taṃ gatvā yena vetti na vā ca saḥ
«وإلا فاذكر لي مُعَمَّرًا آخر. سأذهب إليه وأسأله—أيعرفه أم لا.»
Indradyumna (continuation)
Scene: A pilgrim-seeker speaks with resolve, proposing to travel to another venerable cirajīvin to ask a decisive question; the setting suggests an āśrama threshold and the road beyond.
Persistent inquiry for truth is upheld as dharma—seeking reliable witnesses and verification rather than assumption.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it continues the dialogue within the tīrtha-māhātmya narrative.
None; it describes a plan to consult a cirajīvin (long-lived witness).
