विनतोवाच । यज्ञसूत्रं गले यस्य सोत्तरीयं सुनिर्मलम् । नित्यधौतानि वासांसि भालं तिलक लांछितम्
vinatovāca | yajñasūtraṃ gale yasya sottarīyaṃ sunirmalam | nityadhautāni vāsāṃsi bhālaṃ tilaka lāṃchitam
Vinatā dit : «Celui dont le cou porte le yajñopavīta, dont le vêtement supérieur est d’une pureté sans tache ; dont les habits sont lavés chaque jour, et dont le front est marqué d’un tilaka—»
Vinatā
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Audience of the Kāśīkhaṇḍa discourse
Scene: Vinatā enumerates signs: a dvija with yajñopavīta visible at the neck, spotless upper cloth, clean garments, and a tilaka on the forehead; Garuḍa listens attentively.
Outer disciplines (cleanliness, sacred insignia) are presented as practical identifiers for protecting the dharmic person.
No specific tirtha is mentioned; the verse functions as dharma-guidance within Kāśī Khaṇḍa.
Implied daily purity observances: wearing the yajñopavīta, maintaining clean garments, and applying tilaka.
