ब्रह्मचर्यमिदं चैषा करुणा भारतीत्वियम् । श्रुतिस्मृतीतिहासार्थ चरितार्था अमीजनाः
brahmacaryamidaṃ caiṣā karuṇā bhāratītviyam | śrutismṛtītihāsārtha caritārthā amījanāḥ
ଏହିଏ ବ୍ରହ୍ମଚର୍ଯ୍ୟ, ଏହିଏ କରୁଣା; ଏହିଏ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ପବିତ୍ର ଭାରତୀ-ବାଣୀ। ଏହି ଲୋକେ ଶ୍ରୁତି, ସ୍ମୃତି ଓ ଇତିହାସର ଅର୍ଥକୁ ସାର୍ଥକ କରନ୍ତି।
Brahmā (context continuation)
Tirtha: Avimukta-Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and other ṛṣis (typical Naimiṣāraṇya audience)
Scene: A serene Kāśī setting where ascetics and compassionate householders appear as embodiments of Vedic meaning; sacred speech visualized as a luminous presence over disciplined devotees.
Dharma is not merely textual; it becomes complete when lived—through discipline, compassion, and truthful sacred speech.
The Kāśī-khaṇḍa milieu implies Kāśī as a place where scriptural ideals are realized in exemplary lives.
No single rite is prescribed; the verse elevates ethical vows (brahmacarya) and compassion as core observances.
