तपस्विनो योगिनश्च वेदवेदांगपारगाः । साधवश्च सदाचारा विष्णुभक्तिपरायणाः
tapasvino yoginaśca vedavedāṃgapāragāḥ | sādhavaśca sadācārā viṣṇubhaktiparāyaṇāḥ
Sila’y mga mapagpakasakit at mga yogin, bihasa sa mga Veda at Vedāṅga; sila’y mga banal na may mabuting asal, at lubos na nakatalaga sa debosyon kay Viṣṇu.

Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra

Scene: A serene forest-āśrama: ascetics seated on kuśa mats, some in meditation, others reciting Veda with palm-leaf manuscripts; a subtle Viṣṇu emblem (śaṅkha-cakra) indicates their devotion.
True excellence is the union of learning (Veda), discipline (tapas-yoga), ethical conduct, and devotion to the Lord.
No specific pilgrimage-site is named; the verse praises virtues and devotion.
