ອະກັສຕິກ່າວວ່າ: “ຈົ່ງຟັງ, ໂອ ຜູ້ມີສະໂພກງາມ ແລະບໍ່ມີມົນທິນ; ເຈົ້າໄດ້ຖາມຄໍາຖາມທີ່ແທ້ຈິງ. ເລື່ອງນີ້ ບັນດາມຸນີຜູ້ພິຈາລະນາສັດທຳໄດ້ວິນິດໄສໄວ້ຊ້ຳແລ້ວຊ້ຳອີກ.”
Agastya
Tirtha: Kāśī (implied)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Lopāmudrā
Scene: Agastya leans slightly forward, beginning a formal explanation; his face is serene yet authoritative, as if invoking a lineage of sages and settled doctrine.
Pilgrimage claims are to be understood through tattva (right discernment) as taught by realized sages, not through superficial contradiction.
The verse sets up a clarification about Śrīśaila and Kāśī rather than glorifying one site directly.
None; it introduces authoritative teaching (śravaṇa/listening) as the next step.
