अथोवाच चतुर्वक्त्रो दृष्ट्वा शक्रं तथाविधम् । समस्तान्देवसंघातान्दूरस्थः पापशंकया
athovāca caturvaktro dṛṣṭvā śakraṃ tathāvidham | samastāndevasaṃghātāndūrasthaḥ pāpaśaṃkayā
তাৰ পাছত চতুৰ্মুখ ব্ৰহ্মাই শক্ৰক তেনে অৱস্থাত দেখি, পাপ-সংক্ৰমণৰ আশংকাত দূৰত থিয় হৈ, একত্ৰিত দেৱসমূহক ক’লে।

Dharma includes safeguarding oneself from impurity while guiding the fallen toward proper expiation.
Not specified in this verse; the tīrtha-māhātmya framework suggests an impending instruction about a purifying sacred place.
