គេថា កាស្ឋា (kāṣṭhā) សាមសិប បង្កើតជា កលា (kalā) មួយ; ក្សណ (kṣaṇa) ត្រូវចាត់ថា ស្មើ កលា សាមសិប។ អ្នកជំនាញការគណនា មុហូរត (muhūrta) ថា មុហូរត មួយ មាន ក្សណ ដប់ពីរ។
Sūta
Scene: A learned brāhmaṇa explains a palm-leaf chart of time-units—kāṣṭhā, kalā, kṣaṇa, muhūrta—while pilgrims prepare for a timed river-bath at a tīrtha ghat.
Sacred tradition treats time as structured and knowable; correct timing (muhūrta) supports auspicious action aligned with dharma.
No tīrtha is directly mentioned; the verse supplies technical time-units within the broader tīrtha-mahātmya discourse.
No explicit ritual is commanded; muhūrta-measurement is referenced as authoritative for scheduling rites.
