कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity
सर्ववर्णप्रियकर: सर्वभूतहित: सदा । अद्वेषी सुमुख: श्लक्षण: स्निग्धवाणीप्रद: सदा
sarvavarṇapriyakaraḥ sarvabhūtahitaḥ sadā | advēṣī sumukhaḥ ślakṣṇaḥ snigdhavāṇīpradaḥ sadā, devi! |
Wika ni Maheshvara: “O Devi, yaong minamahal ng lahat ng kaayusang panlipunan, laging nakatuon sa kapakanan ng lahat ng nilalang; walang poot; kaaya-aya ang mukha; banayad ang likas; at laging nagsasalita nang mainit at mapag-aruga—ang gayong tao, sa mga katangiang ito ng kababaang-loob, kabutihang-loob, at kawalang-pagkagalit, ay nagiging marangal sa daigdig at nakakamit ang mapalad na mga dako, at pagkaraan ay muling isinisilang sa mga angkang marangal.”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that universal goodwill, absence of hatred, gentleness, and affectionate truthful speech are central marks of dharmic character; such conduct makes one worthy of respect and yields auspicious spiritual results.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Mahēśvara addresses Devī, listing virtues that define an exemplary person; the surrounding passage (as reflected in the provided Hindi) expands these traits into social duties like honoring elders, guests, teachers, and avoiding harm, and links them to heavenly reward and noble rebirth.
