कच्चिन्मंदिरपृष्ठे त्वं न धत्से भिन्नभाजनम् । उच्छिष्टं वा जनैस्त्यक्तमपि कार्योपकारकम्
kaccinmaṃdirapṛṣṭhe tvaṃ na dhatse bhinnabhājanam | ucchiṣṭaṃ vā janaistyaktamapi kāryopakārakam
Acaso evitas guardar atrás do templo vasos quebrados ou restos de comida—coisas que as pessoas lançaram fora—mesmo que pareçam úteis para alguma tarefa?
Unspecified (Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya didactic voice)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Behind a grand temple, attendants clean the area; a woman is cautioned not to keep broken pots or leftover food there. The scene contrasts a clean, lamp-lit sanctum side with a service alley being purified.
Sacred spaces require śauca (purity/cleanliness); convenience must not override reverence for the temple environment.
The verse speaks generally about temple precincts; no named tīrtha is specified.
A purity rule: do not store broken utensils or leftovers behind/near the temple, even if they seem practically useful.
