संवत्सरं वसंस्तत्र जितक्रोधो जितेंद्रियः । अपरस्वविपुष्टांगः परान्नपरिवर्जकः
saṃvatsaraṃ vasaṃstatra jitakrodho jiteṃdriyaḥ | aparasvavipuṣṭāṃgaḥ parānnaparivarjakaḥ
ସେଠାରେ ଏକ ବର୍ଷ ବସି—କ୍ରୋଧଜୟୀ ଓ ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରିୟନିଗ୍ରହୀ ହୋଇ—ପରଧନରେ ନିଜ ଦେହ ପୋଷଣ ନ କରି, ଅନ୍ୟମାନେ ଦେଇଥିବା ଅନ୍ନକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ତ୍ୟାଗ ନ କରି; ସେ ଏହି ପବିତ୍ର ବାସର ଯଥୋଚିତ ଫଳ ପାଏ।

Tirtha: Avimukta-Kṣetra (Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Not specified in the provided excerpt
Scene: A long-term Kāśī resident calmly receiving a simple meal offered by townsfolk, refusing neither with pride nor seeking luxury; his posture shows restraint, with a subdued aura of angerlessness.
Residence in Kāśī should be joined with inner mastery—especially over anger and the senses—and with non-greed.
Avimukta (Kāśī/Vārāṇasī), revered as Śiva’s unforsaken kṣetra.
A year-long stay marked by self-control and ethical living—avoiding enrichment through others’ wealth while accepting offered alms without disdain.
