दुष्टमपि न वाच्यं ते यथा बहुमतं मम । सैवास्मि संज्ञाहमिति वाच्यमेवं त्वयानघे
duṣṭamapi na vācyaṃ te yathā bahumataṃ mama | saivāsmi saṃjñāhamiti vācyamevaṃ tvayānaghe

It highlights the moral tension between concealment and dharma, showing how secrecy can set the stage for later consequences.
No tīrtha is referenced in this verse.
None; it concerns speech and identity, not a rite.
