अत्र मर्म न वक्तव्यं सुधियां कस्यचित्क्वचित् । परदार परद्रव्य परापकरणं त्यजेत्
atra marma na vaktavyaṃ sudhiyāṃ kasyacitkvacit | paradāra paradravya parāpakaraṇaṃ tyajet
अत्र कस्यचित् मर्म सुधिया क्वचिदपि न वक्तव्यम्। परदारं परद्रव्यं परापकरणं च त्यजेत्॥
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Ānandakānana)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim restrains himself: turning away from temptation, returning a found purse, shielding a friend’s confidence; the ghats and temples stand as silent witnesses to ethical discipline.
Holiness demands inner discipline: protect confidences, respect relationships and property, and avoid harming others.
Kāśī as the setting where elevated ethical conduct is insisted upon for spiritual benefit.
A code of restraint: do not reveal secrets; renounce adultery, theft/appropriation, and harm.
