गीतवाद्यरता नित्या मत्ताः किलकिलापराः । कूटवेषक्रियाचाराः कूटसंव्यवहारिणः
gītavādyaratā nityā mattāḥ kilakilāparāḥ | kūṭaveṣakriyācārāḥ kūṭasaṃvyavahāriṇaḥ
ଯେମାନେ ସଦା ଗୀତ-ବାଦ୍ୟରେ ଆସକ୍ତ, ନିତ୍ୟ ମଦୋନ୍ମତ୍ତ ହୋଇ ଅର୍ଥହୀନ କୋଲାହଳ କରନ୍ତି; ଯେମାନେ କୂଟବେଷ ଧାରଣ କରି ଛଳମୟ ଆଚରଣ କରନ୍ତି ଏବଂ କପଟରେ ବ୍ୟବହାର ଚାଲାନ୍ତି—ସେମାନେ ଧର୍ମଭ୍ରଷ୍ଟ ଭାବେ ନିନ୍ଦିତ।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narrative convention
Scene: A street near a temple: revelers with instruments and drink create chaos; alongside, a calm pilgrim and a priest represent restraint; a fraudster in disguise cheats a buyer, contrasted with honest merchants.
Dharma is undermined by intoxication, performative revelry, false appearances, and fraudulent dealings; integrity and self-restraint are praised implicitly.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned in this verse; it functions as a general dharmic censure within the Kaumārikā-khaṇḍa context.
No explicit ritual (snāna, dāna, japa, vrata) is prescribed here; the focus is ethical conduct.
