शरण्यं सर्वभूतानां ब्रह्मघोषनिनादितम् | दिव्यमाश्रयणीयं तमाश्रमं श्रमनाशनम्
śaraṇyaṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ brahmaghoṣanināditam | divyam āśrayaṇīyaṃ tam āśramaṃ śramanāśanam
Ghaṭotkaca disse: “Aquele eremitério era refúgio de todos os seres, ressoando com a solene recitação dos Vedas. Era divino e digno de acolhida — um āśrama que dissipa o cansaço e restaura os que a ele chegam.”

Educational Q&A
A true āśrama is portrayed as universally protective and spiritually charged: its Vedic soundscape and disciplined sanctity make it a legitimate refuge, and its ethical function is to relieve the burdens—physical and mental—of those who seek shelter.
Ghaṭotkaca points out (or praises) a particular hermitage, describing it as sacred, filled with Vedic recitation, and suitable for taking refuge in—emphasizing its role as a restorative sanctuary for all beings.
