Even in danger, dharma is upheld through truthfulness, restraint, and honoring a pledged return.
The verse occurs within the Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya setting; the immediate shloka continues a sacred-place narrative rather than naming a distinct tīrtha in this line.
No explicit rite (snāna, dāna, japa, vrata) is stated here; it emphasizes ethical conduct within a tīrtha narrative.
