अस्मिन्गोत्रे भवा विप्रा दुष्टाः कुटिलगामिनः । धनिनो धर्मनिष्ठाश्च वेदवेदांगपारगाः
asmingotre bhavā viprā duṣṭāḥ kuṭilagāminaḥ | dhanino dharmaniṣṭhāśca vedavedāṃgapāragāḥ
આ ગોત્રમાં કેટલાક વિપ્ર દુષ્ટ અને કૂટિલ આચરણવાળા પણ મળે છે; તેમજ કેટલાક ધનવાન, ધર્મનિષ્ઠ અને વેદ-વેદાંગોમાં પારંગત પણ હોય છે।
Unspecified narrator (contextual Purāṇic narrator addressing a king)
Scene: Contrasting figures within one lineage: one brāhmaṇa with sharp, furtive expression and crooked posture; another serene, dharma-steady scholar; symbols of wealth and Vedic learning appear together to show tension between knowledge and character.
Lineage and learning do not automatically guarantee virtue; dharma requires integrity of conduct.
No tīrtha is specified; the verse is an ethical observation within a lineage discussion.
None directly; it references Veda/Vedāṅga mastery and dharma-niṣṭhā as ideals.
