कृतज्ञो मधुरालापः पापकर्मपराङ्मुखः । सत्यवाक्छौचनिलयः स्वल्पवाग्विजितेंद्रियः
kṛtajño madhurālāpaḥ pāpakarmaparāṅmukhaḥ | satyavākchaucanilayaḥ svalpavāgvijiteṃdriyaḥ
అతడు కృతజ్ఞుడు, మధురంగా పలికేవాడు, పాపకర్మల నుండి దూరంగా ఉండేవాడు. సత్యవాక్కు, శుచితలో నిలిచినవాడు, తక్కువగా మాట్లాడేవాడు, ఇంద్రియజయుడు.
Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A composed pilgrim-noble in Kāśī speaks gently to supplicants, offers thanks to elders, and turns away from temptations; symbolic motifs include a water pot for purity, a rosary for restraint, and the Gaṅgā ghat as backdrop.
Dharma is safeguarded by truthfulness, purity, restraint of speech, and mastery over the senses.
No single tirtha is specified; it supports the Kāśī-centered dharma narrative by praising inner purity and conduct.
None explicitly; the “śauca” theme implies purity-discipline rather than a named rite.
