यत्किंचित्रिषु लोकेषु दृश्यते स्थाणु जंगमम् । तस्यां सहोपविष्टायां तत्र ज्ञात्वा स धर्मवित्
yatkiṃcitriṣu lokeṣu dṛśyate sthāṇu jaṃgamam | tasyāṃ sahopaviṣṭāyāṃ tatra jñātvā sa dharmavit
Apa pun yang terlihat di tiga dunia—yang bergerak maupun yang tak bergerak—semuanya terhimpun di sana; dan ketika seseorang mengetahuinya di tempat suci itu, sambil duduk di sana, ia menjadi seorang yang memahami dharma.

Type: kshetra

FAQs
True dharma-knowledge arises from contemplative presence in a sanctified space where the cosmos is intuitively comprehended.
Dharmāraṇya is implied as the place where the reality of the three worlds can be understood, making one a dharmavit.
The verse implies upaveśana (reverent sitting/attendance) and contemplative listening/knowing, rather than a formal rite.
