Observation of the Hermitage Precinct and the Assembly of Sages
प्राप्त: सुविपुलो धर्म: श्रुत्वा पापविनाशनम् | विमुक्तो हृदयग्रन्थिरुदारजनदर्शनात्
prāptaḥ suvipulo dharmaḥ śrutvā pāpavināśanam | vimukto hṛdayagranthir udārajanadarśanāt ||
Al escuchar este relato que destruye el pecado, has alcanzado un dharma vasto y noble. Al contemplar a los magnánimos, a los de alma elevada, se ha desatado el nudo de tu corazón: han quedado libres tu duda y tu confusión interior.

Educational Q&A
Hearing a morally purifying, sin-destroying teaching and associating with noble persons (udāra-jana) loosens the 'knot of the heart'—deep doubt, inner blockage, and confusion—leading to a fuller grasp and attainment of dharma.
Āstīka addresses the listener, affirming that by hearing the purifying account and by encountering high-souled, generous-hearted people, the listener has gained expansive dharma and has been freed from inner doubt (the hṛdaya-granthi).
