तैलाभ्यंगादिभिर्यत्नैर्बहुभिः पाल्यते न चेत् । किं कृत्यं साध्यते तेन यदि भारं वहेन्न हि
tailābhyaṃgādibhiryatnairbahubhiḥ pālyate na cet | kiṃ kṛtyaṃ sādhyate tena yadi bhāraṃ vahenna hi
ତେଲ ଲଗାଇବା ଇତ୍ୟାଦି ଅନେକ ଯତ୍ନରେ ଯଦି ରଥକୁ ପାଳନ ନ କରାଯାଏ, ତେବେ ସେ ଭାର ବହନ କରିପାରିବ ନାହିଁ; ତାହେଲେ ତାହାଦ୍ୱାରା କେଉଁ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ସାଧିତ ହେବ?
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Maintain the body with discipline so it can bear the ‘load’ of dharma—worship, charity, vows, and service.
No tīrtha is referenced; the teaching is ethical and practical.
No formal ritual; it recommends responsible upkeep (symbolized by oiling) so one can perform dharmic duties.
