नैव किंचिदसत्यं स्यान्न च निंदाकरं तथा । श्रूयते च यतः श्लोकः पूर्वाचार्यैरुदाहृतः
naiva kiṃcidasatyaṃ syānna ca niṃdākaraṃ tathā | śrūyate ca yataḥ ślokaḥ pūrvācāryairudāhṛtaḥ
Ici, rien n’est mensonge, et rien n’est blâmable en aucune manière; car l’on entend un śloka, proclamé par les maîtres d’autrefois.
Deductive: Purāṇic narrator in Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya (likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa)
Tirtha: Suputradā (contextual)
Type: kund
Scene: An elder teacher recites an old śloka to a gathered audience by the pond; listeners fold hands; a palm-leaf manuscript is visible; the atmosphere is calm, emphasizing tradition and credibility.
