न स्नानं क्रियते नित्यं न मंत्रो जप्यते शुचिः । नाराध्यते त्वयेशानः कथं मां स्प्रष्टुमर्हसि
na snānaṃ kriyate nityaṃ na maṃtro japyate śuciḥ | nārādhyate tvayeśānaḥ kathaṃ māṃ spraṣṭumarhasi
நீ தினமும் நீராடுவதில்லை; தூய்மையுடன் மந்திர ஜபமும் செய்வதில்லை; ஈசானன் (சிவன்) ஆராதனையும் செய்வதில்லை; அப்படியிருக்க என்னைத் தொட நீ எவ்வாறு தகுதியுடையவன்?
Queen
Listener: The King
Scene: The queen enumerates three neglected disciplines; visual split-panel: (1) dawn bath, (2) seated japa with rosary, (3) Śiva-liṅga worship—each shown as absent around the king, emphasizing omission.
Outer cleanliness, inner purity, and devotion to Śiva support dharma; without them, one becomes unfit for sacred intimacy.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse stresses daily disciplines rather than sacred geography.
Daily snāna (bathing), śuci (purity), mantra-japa, and worship (ārādhanā) of Īśāna (Śiva).
