Dharma-vyādha’s Analysis of Moral Decline and the Mahābhūta–Guṇa Schema (धर्मव्याधोपदेशः)

व्रजे वाप्यथवारण्ये यत्र सन्ति बहुश्रुता: । तत्‌ तन्नगरमित्याहु: पार्थ तीर्थ च तद्‌ भवेत्‌,कुन्तीनन्दन! व्रज (गौओंके रहनेका स्थान) हो या वन, जहाँ बहुश्रुत विद्वान्‌ रहते हों, उसे “नगर” कहा गया है, वह तीर्थ भी माना गया है

vraje vāpy athavāraṇye yatra santi bahuśrutāḥ | tat tan nagaram ity āhuḥ pārtha tīrtha ca tad bhavet | kuntīnandana!

Wahai Pārtha, putra Kuntī, entah itu perkampungan para penggembala atau rimba belantara—di mana pun para bijak yang banyak mendengar dan menguasai śruti tinggal, tempat itu disebut ‘kota’; dan tempat itu pun menjadi tīrtha.
