यथैव बधिरस्याग्रे गीतं नृत्यमचक्षुषः । तद्वन्मातृमतादन्यकृतं पुत्रस्य धर्मजम्
yathaiva badhirasyāgre gītaṃ nṛtyamacakṣuṣaḥ | tadvanmātṛmatādanyakṛtaṃ putrasya dharmajam
ដូចជាចម្រៀងច្រៀងមុខអ្នកថ្លង់ និងរបាំសម្រាប់អ្នកគ្មានភ្នែក ដូច្នោះដែរ កិច្ចធម៌របស់កូនប្រុសដែលធ្វើផ្ទុយពីបំណងម្តាយ មិនឲ្យផលពិតឡើយ។

Scene: Two similes: a singer performing before a deaf person and a dancer performing for a blind person; beside them, a son offering ritual acts while the mother turns away—signifying ‘anyathā-kṛta’ dharma becoming fruitless.
Dharma is not merely action but right relationship and obedience; acts opposed to the mother’s rightful intent become ineffective.
No tīrtha is specified in this verse; it serves as a moral illustration within the larger tīrtha-mahātmya.
None; the verse evaluates the fruitfulness of dharmic acts rather than prescribing a rite.
