अब्रह्मचारिणाधीतमिज्या चाविदुषा कृता ।
तपोवने ग्राम्यभुजां तथैवानिर्वजितात्मनाम् ॥
abrahmacāriṇādhītam ijyā cāviduṣā kṛtā | tapovane grāmyabhujāṃ tathaivānirvajitātmanām ||
ব্ৰহ্মচৰ্য/সংযম নথকা ব্যক্তিৰ অৰ্জিত বিদ্যা, অজ্ঞ লোকৰ দ্বাৰা সম্পন্ন যজ্ঞ, আৰু এতিয়াও গ্ৰাম্য (ভোগপ্ৰধান) আহাৰ গ্ৰহণ কৰা লোকৰ বন-তপস্যা—আৰু যিসকলৰ মন শুদ্ধ নহয়—এই সকলো দোষযুক্ত।

Scriptural learning and ritual are not merely technical acts; they require inner discipline (brahmacarya, śuddhi). Ascetic settings (tapovana) do not sanctify a person who retains indulgent habits and an unpurified mind.
Ethical-ritual instruction ancillary to Purāṇic narrative; not a direct instance of the five hallmark topics, but supportive of ‘dharma’ exposition often embedded in vaṃśānucarita narratives.
The verse encodes the principle that mantra/vidyā without containment of desire becomes ‘leaky’—power dissipates. ‘Tapovana + grāmya-bhoga’ is a symbol of mixed (saṅkīrṇa) intention that blocks spiritual fruition.
