本質において一つの身を分かち合う大いなる御存在の間に、分別を立ててはならない。註釈論や因果論、枝葉末節の論理をもって彼らに差別を作り出そうとする者は無明である。
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) [deduced]
Tirtha: Revā tīrtha-samūha (contextual)
Type: river
Scene: Sages or disputants attempt to split the unity of the great deities through logic; the teaching declares them one-bodied, urging non-division and harmony.
FAQs

No specific tīrtha is named; it provides the ethical-theological frame for Revā-khaṇḍa pilgrimage devotion.
No external ritual; the prescription is inner—do not cultivate divisive views in worship.
