त्वं साक्षात्परमः पूज्यः कुरु कार्यमिदं हि नः । अथ वा पीडितान्दृष्ट्वा सामान्यानपि पंडिताः । स्वप्राणैरपि त्रायांति परमेतन्महाफलम्
tvaṃ sākṣātparamaḥ pūjyaḥ kuru kāryamidaṃ hi naḥ | atha vā pīḍitāndṛṣṭvā sāmānyānapi paṃḍitāḥ | svaprāṇairapi trāyāṃti parametanmahāphalam
Engkau secara langsung layak menerima penghormatan tertinggi—maka laksanakanlah tugas ini untuk kami. Sesungguhnya para bijaksana, apabila melihat makhluk biasa ditimpa derita, melindungi mereka walau dengan mempertaruhkan nyawa sendiri; inilah buah pahala yang paling agung.

Scene: A supplicant group addresses a revered figure (Manmatha or a powerful being in context) requesting decisive help; in the background, distressed common folk are shown, and the ideal of risking one’s life to protect them is highlighted.
Protecting the distressed is a supreme dharmic act; compassion and courageous aid generate great spiritual merit.
No specific tīrtha is cited; the verse teaches dharma through exhortation.
None; it emphasizes ethical duty (rakṣā/aid) rather than ritual.
