कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity
एष देवि सतां धर्मो मन्तव्यो भूतिकारक: । नृणां हितार्थाय मया तव वै समुदाह्ृत:
eṣa devi satāṁ dharmo mantavyo bhūtikārakaḥ | nṛṇāṁ hitārthāya mayā tava vai samudāhṛtaḥ ||
Maheshvara bersabda: “Wahai Dewi, inilah dharma orang-orang berbudi; hendaklah ia dipandang sebagai sumber kesejahteraan sejati dan kemakmuran. Demi manfaat manusia, telah Aku nyatakan ajaran ini kepadamu dengan jelas dan sempurna, wahai Dewi.”

Educational Q&A
The dharma followed by the virtuous should be accepted as inherently welfare-producing; the speaker frames the teaching as meant for the good of all humans.
Maheshvara addresses Devī and concludes or reinforces an instruction by stating that what has been taught is the dharma of the good, expounded for the benefit of humankind.
