केचिच्छिवं हरिं केचित्केचित्सूर्यं विधिं परे । केचिद्देवीं महद्भूतामुत ध्यायन्ति केचन
kecicchivaṃ hariṃ kecitkecitsūryaṃ vidhiṃ pare | keciddevīṃ mahadbhūtāmuta dhyāyanti kecana
ある者はシヴァを観想し、ある者はハリを観想し、またある者は太陽を、ある者は創造主ブラフマーを観想する。さらにある者は女神を、偉大なる原初の力として観じる—かくして人々の観想はさまざまである。

Puranic tradition recognizes multiple valid devotional-meditative focuses, reflecting diverse temperaments and paths.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse catalogs deities commonly contemplated.
