आयुर्वेदं विचार्यापि नाट्यवेदे कृतश्रमः । अर्थशास्त्राण्यनेकानि प्राप्याश्वगजचेष्टितम्
āyurvedaṃ vicāryāpi nāṭyavede kṛtaśramaḥ | arthaśāstrāṇyanekāni prāpyāśvagajaceṣṭitam
ஆயுர்வேதத்தை ஆராய்ந்து, நாட்யவேதத்தில் உழைத்தான்; பல அர்த்தசாஸ்திரங்களைப் பெற்றான்; குதிரை, யானையின் நடையாடல் மற்றும் பயிற்சியையும் கற்றான்।
Agastya (continuing narration)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A learned brāhmaṇa in Kāśī, surrounded by palm-leaf manuscripts and instruments of arts—medical texts, dramaturgy props, and royal training imagery of horses and elephants—suggesting a life of accomplished worldly disciplines.
Worldly competencies and refined arts are acknowledged, yet the narrative implies that liberation requires something beyond accomplishment—devotion and grace.
No specific tīrtha in this verse; it supports the larger Kāśī-centered mahātmya by building the protagonist’s background.
None; it enumerates disciplines studied.
