कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच आगमा लोकधर्माणां मर्यादा: सर्वनिर्मिता: । प्रामाण्येनानुवर्तन्ते दृश्यन्ते च दूढब्रता:
śrīmaheśvara uvāca āgamā lokadharmāṇāṁ maryādāḥ sarvanirmitāḥ | prāmāṇyenānuvartante dṛśyante ca dūḍhabratāḥ ||
Sinabi ni Śrī Maheshvara: “Ang mga āgama, ang mga tradisyong may awtoridad, ang nagsisilbing hangganan at pamantayang itinatag para sa mga kaugalian ng daigdig. Sinusunod ito ng mga tao sapagkat kinikilalang wastong pinagmumulan ng kaalaman; at ang mga matatag sa panata ay nakikitang mahigpit na nananatili rito.”
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच
Educational Q&A
That āgamas/traditional authoritative teachings function as the established standards (maryādā) for worldly conduct (lokadharma), and people—especially the disciplined and vow-bound—follow them because they are accepted as valid authority (prāmāṇya).
Śrī Maheśvara is speaking in an instructive mode, explaining how norms of conduct in society are grounded in recognized authoritative traditions, and noting that steadfast practitioners are visibly committed to following those standards.
