संत्यक्त ब्राह्मणाचारः संध्यास्नानपराङ्मुखः । निंदको वेदशास्त्राणां देवब्राह्मणनिंदकः
saṃtyakta brāhmaṇācāraḥ saṃdhyāsnānaparāṅmukhaḥ | niṃdako vedaśāstrāṇāṃ devabrāhmaṇaniṃdakaḥ
Il renonça à la conduite digne d’un brahmane, se détourna des prières du sandhyā et du bain rituel, et devint un blasphémateur des Veda et des śāstra, diffamant dieux et brahmanes.
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A fallen Brahmin figure turns away from a riverbank sandhyā and snāna; in the background, Vedic manuscripts and a small shrine are shown neglected, while his mouth is depicted in harsh speech toward devas and brāhmaṇas.
Neglect of daily sacred duties and contempt for scripture and the holy leads to spiritual downfall and loss of dharmic identity.
No specific tīrtha is named; the verse emphasizes dharma through daily observances central to a sacred-life ideal associated with Kāśī traditions.
Sandhyā (twilight worship) and snāna (ritual bathing) are referenced as obligatory disciplines.
