वस्त्रालंकरणोपेता द्विजभक्तिपरायणाः । ब्रह्मभोज्यपराः सर्वे सर्वे धर्मपरायणाः
vastrālaṃkaraṇopetā dvijabhaktiparāyaṇāḥ | brahmabhojyaparāḥ sarve sarve dharmaparāyaṇāḥ
वे वस्त्रों और आभूषणों से सुशोभित, द्विजों की भक्ति-सेवा में तत्पर, ब्राह्मणों के योग्य दान-भोजन में प्रवृत्त—सब के सब धर्मपरायण हैं।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Scene: A dharmic community, well-dressed and ornamented, welcomes brāhmaṇas with respectful gestures; vessels of cooked rice, ghee, and offerings are arranged; the atmosphere is orderly and sattvic.
Dharma is expressed through generosity and reverence—especially hospitality and support offered to the learned and righteous.
No single location is specified; the verse highlights dharmic social conduct within the Dharmāraṇya narrative frame.
It implies the merit of brāhmaṇa-bhojana (feeding brāhmaṇas) and charitable giving, though without a detailed ritual protocol.
