وہ چھ باطنی دشمنوں سے پاک ہو چکے تھے؛ خوش خُلق اور نیک سیرت، سَتْو سے بھرپور؛ شاستروں کے گہرے عالم اور راج نیتی کے علم میں ماہر تھے۔

Scene: A contemplative portrayal of ideal kings: not in battle but in disciplined poise—calm faces, restrained gestures, scholars and ministers nearby, palm-leaf manuscripts and nīti counsel, symbolizing inner victory over the six foes.
True rulership begins with self-rule: conquering the inner enemies and grounding power in learning and virtue.
The broader Kāśī setting is implied; the verse itself extols dharmic qualifications rather than a particular shrine.
No specific rite is prescribed; the focus is ethical discipline and mastery of knowledge.
