अथवा सर्व तेजांसि श्रित्वेमां ब्राह्मणीं तनुम् । शीलयंति परं धाम शातंशांत पदाप्तये
athavā sarva tejāṃsi śritvemāṃ brāhmaṇīṃ tanum | śīlayaṃti paraṃ dhāma śātaṃśāṃta padāptaye
Ou então, todos os esplendores, tomando refúgio neste corpo bramânico, permanecem na morada suprema, buscando alcançar o estado de paz perfeita.
Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Spiritual radiance finds its true completion in the supreme peace—tejas culminates in śānti and the highest state.
Implicitly Kāśī, renowned in the Skanda Purāṇa as a liberating field where the ‘supreme abode’ is contemplated and approached.
No specific rite; the verse emphasizes taking refuge in dharmic embodiment and aiming for śānta-pada (the peaceful goal).
