संकीर्णयोनयः पूता ये भक्ता मधुसूदने । म्लेच्छतुल्याः कुलीनास्ते ये न भक्ता जनार्दने
saṃkīrṇayonayaḥ pūtā ye bhaktā madhusūdane | mlecchatulyāḥ kulīnāste ye na bhaktā janārdane
ମଧୁସୂଦନଙ୍କ ଭକ୍ତ ଯେମାନେ, ସେମାନେ ସଂକୀର୍ଣ୍ଣ-ଯୋନି ହେଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ ପବିତ୍ର ହୁଅନ୍ତି; କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେମାନେ ଜନାର୍ଦନଙ୍କ ଭକ୍ତ ନୁହନ୍ତି, ସେମାନେ କୁଳୀନ ହେଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ ମ୍ଲେଚ୍ଛତୁଲ୍ୟ।
Skanda (deduced from Skanda Purāṇa context within Māhātmya narration)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A diverse group of devotees—some ‘mixed-origin’ pilgrims—offering tulasī and lamps to Kṛṣṇa; a proud high-born figure without devotion stands aside in shadow, visually ‘mleccha-like’ through alienation from worship.
Devotion is the true purifier and measure of nobility; birth-status without bhakti is spiritually empty.
Dvārakā is the Māhātmya setting, highlighting a Vaiṣṇava value-system centered on Kṛṣṇa/Viṣṇu devotion.
No specific ritual is prescribed; the verse prescribes bhakti (devotional allegiance) as the core dharma.
