चचाई वत्सगोत्रस्य शांता च कुत्सगोत्रजा । एतैस्त्रिभिः पंचभिश्च द्विजा ब्रह्मस्वरूपिणः
cacāī vatsagotrasya śāṃtā ca kutsagotrajā | etaistribhiḥ paṃcabhiśca dvijā brahmasvarūpiṇaḥ
Si Cacāī ay sa gotra ng Vatsa, at si Śāntā ay isinilang sa gotra ng Kutsa. Sa tatlong ito—at gayundin sa lima—ang mga dvija ay kinikilalang may anyo ng Brahman.
Unspecified (narrative voice within Dharmāraṇya Khaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Scene: A small assembly of dvijas identified by gotra, standing with humility; a subtle radiance suggests ‘brahma-svarūpa’ as inner light rather than external power.
Puranic dharma links social-ritual identity (gotra/pravara) with a higher ideal: the dvija’s life should reflect brahma-svarūpa (spiritual nobility).
Dharmāraṇya as a sacred region is implied; the verse itself focuses on gotra affiliations rather than a named tirtha.
No explicit rite; the verse provides lineage markers used in ritual contexts (gotra/pravara identification).
