नासाग्रसंमितं दण्डं वैश्यस्याहुर्विपश्चितः । तथा वासांसि वक्ष्यामि विप्रादीनां यथाक्रमम् ॥ २० ॥
nāsāgrasaṃmitaṃ daṇḍaṃ vaiśyasyāhurvipaścitaḥ | tathā vāsāṃsi vakṣyāmi viprādīnāṃ yathākramam || 20 ||
ବିଦ୍ୱାନମାନେ କହନ୍ତି—ବୈଶ୍ୟଙ୍କ ଦଣ୍ଡ ନାସାଗ୍ର ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ମାପିତ ହେଉ। ଏବେ ମୁଁ କ୍ରମାନୁସାରେ ବ୍ରାହ୍ମଣ ଆଦି ବର୍ଣ୍ଣଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଧାରିତ ବସ୍ତ୍ରମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ କହିବି।
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
It frames external discipline (staff and clothing) as part of dharma for a student, reinforcing order, restraint, and identity within prescribed duties.
While not directly teaching bhakti, it supports bhakti’s foundation: regulated living and purity of conduct, which steadies the mind for worship and remembrance.
It reflects kalpa-style practical ritual regulation—standardized measurements and prescriptions used in samskāras and brahmacarya observances.
