Glory of Guru-tīrtha: Mānasarovara Marvels and the Revā Confluence
पश्चात्त्रयो विनिष्क्रांतास्तैश्चाहं समुपेक्षितः । याता आकाशमार्गेण विवदंतः परस्परम्
paścāttrayo viniṣkrāṃtāstaiścāhaṃ samupekṣitaḥ | yātā ākāśamārgeṇa vivadaṃtaḥ parasparam
Pagkaraan, ang tatlo ay umalis; at ako’y hindi nila pinansin. Dumaan sila sa landas ng himpapawid, nagtatalo-talo sa isa’t isa.
Unspecified narrator (first-person voice within the ongoing Bhūmi-khaṇḍa narrative context)

Application: If others dismiss you or argue among themselves, step back; keep your practice, choose sādhus, and avoid being pulled into disputes.

It literally means “the path of the sky,” implying travel through the air or a celestial route rather than by land.
