न शिखां नोपवीतं च नोच्च रेत्संस्कृतां गिरम् । न पठेद्वेदवचनं त्रैरात्रं न हि सेवयेत्
na śikhāṃ nopavītaṃ ca nocca retsaṃskṛtāṃ giram | na paṭhedvedavacanaṃ trairātraṃ na hi sevayet
Dito, hindi dapat magpanatili ng śikhā, ni magsuot ng upavīta (banal na sinulid), ni magsalita ng pinong wikang Sanskrit. Hindi rin dapat bigkasin ang mga talata ng Veda, at hindi dapat isagawa rito ang ritwal na tatlong-gabi (trairātra).

Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A rule-setting scene: pilgrims at Prabhāsa being instructed not to adopt śikhā/upavīta or recite Veda; a small group stands near Somnātha precinct, with a vrata calendar board indicating trairātra crossed out.
Tīrtha practice is presented as regulated by role-based dharma and specific vows rather than personal display.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, where conduct and observances are being codified.
Restrictions on śikhā/upavīta display, Vedic recitation, and the trairātra observance in this context.
