कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity
उदात्तकुलजातीय उदात्ताभिजन: सदा । एष धर्मों मया प्रोक्तो विधात्रा स्वयमीरित:
udāttakulajātīya udāttābhijanaḥ sadā | eṣa dharmo mayā prokto vidhātrā svayam īritaḥ ||
Mahadeva bersabda: “Orang yang berpegang pada dharma sentiasa lahir dalam keluarga dan keturunan yang luhur, di tengah golongan mulia yang dihormati. Inilah dharma yang aku nyatakan—yang terlebih dahulu diwartakan oleh Sang Pencipta sendiri.”

Righteous conduct (dharma) is said to lead to birth in an exalted family and noble lineage; Mahādeva presents this as an authoritative teaching originally proclaimed by the Creator (Brahmā).
Śiva (Śrīmaheśvara) is instructing the listener on dharma, emphasizing its fruits and grounding his statement in the prior authority of Vidhātṛ (Brahmā).
