कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच ब्राह्मणान् वेदविदुष: सिद्धान् धर्मविदस्तथा । परिपृच्छन्त्यहरह: कुशला: कुशलं तथा
śrīmaheśvara uvāca brāhmaṇān vedaviduṣaḥ siddhān dharmavidās tathā | paripṛcchanty aharahaḥ kuśalāḥ kuśalaṃ tathā ||
Śrī Maheśvara bersabda: Wahai Dewi, orang bijak setiap hari menanyakan kesejahteraan para brāhmaṇa yang telah sempurna—yang mengetahui Weda dan memahami dharma. Dengan menghormati mereka melalui pertanyaan yang penuh hormat serta meninggalkan perbuatan yang tidak suci demi laku yang suci, ia meraih surga di alam sana dan kebahagiaan yang teguh di dunia ini.
