उपाध्यायः सशिष्यश्च ब्रह्मस्थानं समाश्रितः । स गत्वा दूरतः स्थित्वा संनिविष्टो यथान्त्यजः
upādhyāyaḥ saśiṣyaśca brahmasthānaṃ samāśritaḥ | sa gatvā dūrataḥ sthitvā saṃniviṣṭo yathāntyajaḥ
គ្រូបង្រៀន ព្រមទាំងសិស្ស បានស្នាក់នៅក្នុងព្រះព្រហ្មស្ថាន។ គាត់ទៅដល់ហើយឈរឆ្ងាយៗ រួចអង្គុយចុះ ដូចជាមនុស្សក្រៅវណ្ណៈ ដោយសារកំហុសបានធ្វើឲ្យខ្លួនទាបទន់។

Tirtha: Brahmasthāna
Type: kshetra
Scene: A guru with a disciple in a sanctified precinct; the disciple stands at a distance, seated low with a posture of shame, avoiding the central sacred space.
Expiation requires humility: one approaches dharmic authority without pride, acknowledging one’s fallen state and seeking restoration.
Brahmasthāna is mentioned as the sacred seat where the teacher resides; the chapter’s tīrtha focus remains connected with Śaṃkhatīrtha.
Approaching an upādhyāya (preceptor) as part of prāyaścitta—seeking authoritative guidance for purification.
