एतदक्षरमेनां च जपेद्व्याहृतिपूर्विकाम् । संध्ययोर्वेदविद्विप्रो वेदपुण्येन युज्यते
etadakṣaramenāṃ ca japedvyāhṛtipūrvikām | saṃdhyayorvedavidvipro vedapuṇyena yujyate
وید شناس برہمن کو چاہیے کہ ویاهرتیوں سے پہلے اس اکشر (اوم) اور اس (گایتری) کا جپ کرے۔ دونوں سندھیاؤں میں کرنے سے وہ وید سے پیدا ہونے والے پُنّیہ سے یُکت ہو جاتا ہے۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa context, typically Skanda instructing Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Two-panel diptych: at sunrise and sunset, the same brāhmaṇa performs sandhyā by the river; vyāhṛtis appear as three glowing steps leading to Oṃ and then to the Gāyatrī mantra as a radiant garland.
Regular sandhyā practice with the proper Vedic components is a direct means to accrue Veda-born merit and inner purification.
The teaching is embedded in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s Kāśī setting, underscoring Kāśī as a seat of Vedic dharma.
At both dawn and dusk (two sandhyās), recite Oṃ and Gāyatrī with the vyāhṛtis as the preface.
