ឪពុកខ្ញុំ—សាណ្ឌិល្យា មហាមុនីដ៏ប្រសើរបំផុត—បានស្នាក់នៅកុរុក្សេត្រ ក្នុងអាស្រមវានប្រស្ថា ដោយបានចូលទៅកាន់ដំណាក់កាលដើមនៃការដកខ្លួនតាមវិន័យ។
Śāṇḍilya (continuing narrative)
Tirtha: Kurukṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: A serene forest-hermitage at Kurukṣetra: Śāṇḍilya in vānaprastha attire near a small agni-kuṇḍa, deer and peacocks at the edge of a sacred grove, distant suggestion of tīrtha waters.
Āśrama-dharma frames spiritual life: disciplined stages (like vānaprastha) support purity, teaching, and transmission of counsel.
Kurukṣetra is explicitly mentioned as the sacred setting associated with the sage’s āśrama life.
No specific rite is prescribed; the verse situates the narrative within the vānaprastha-āśrama framework.
