Translation

ด้วยพิธีนั้น หูทั้งสองย่อมเหมาะแก่การรับเครื่องประดับทอง และผู้หนึ่งเป็น ‘สุศรุติ’ คือได้ยินดีและรับคำสอนอันถูกต้อง โอ้ พระหริ! สำหรับเขา การผูกมุญชาพันธะ (คาดเชือกหญ้ามุญชา) เกิดขึ้นเมื่อพ้นปีที่แปดแล้ว—เพื่อความเจริญแห่งพรหมจรรย์ และเป็นเหตุให้ได้รับพรหมัน คือการรับพระเวทศึกษา

FAQs

Initiation into brahmacarya is portrayed as the gateway to disciplined life and sacred learning.

This verse does not name a tīrtha; it belongs to the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s broader Kāśī-centered dharma narrative.

Muñjībandha (sacred girdle tying), associated with upanayana and brahmacarya, is mentioned with an age marker (after the eighth year).
