ब्रह्मज्ञानप्रयुक्तस्य संन्यस्तस्य विशेषतः । अग्निदानं न युक्तं स्यात्सर्वेषामपि योगिनाम्
brahmajñānaprayuktasya saṃnyastasya viśeṣataḥ | agnidānaṃ na yuktaṃ syātsarveṣāmapi yoginām
ବ୍ରହ୍ମଜ୍ଞାନରେ ନିଷ୍ଠ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ, ବିଶେଷକରି ସନ୍ନ୍ୟାସୀଙ୍କୁ, ଅଗ୍ନିଦାନ ଯୁକ୍ତ ନୁହେଁ; ସାଧାରଣତଃ ସମସ୍ତ ଯୋଗୀଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଏହା ଉଚିତ ମନାଯାଏ ନାହିଁ।

Scene: A serene renunciate-yogin seated in meditation near a pilgrimage riverbank; an unlit ritual fire-pit nearby symbolizes the transcendence of external rites; subtle aura of jñāna and restraint.
Inner realization (brahmajñāna) and renunciation can redefine social-ritual obligations, emphasizing liberation over external form.
The tīrtha context frames the narrative, but this verse itself teaches a dharmic principle rather than naming a site.
It states that agnidāna (cremation/consigning to fire) is not appropriate for a saṃnyāsin or yogin.
