इति चिंतयते मह्यं भृशं दोलायते मनः । महन्मे कौतुकं जातं सत्यं वा वक्तुमर्हथ
iti ciṃtayate mahyaṃ bhṛśaṃ dolāyate manaḥ | mahanme kautukaṃ jātaṃ satyaṃ vā vaktumarhatha
یوں سوچتے سوچتے میرا دل بہت ڈگمگا رہا ہے۔ میرے اندر بڑی جستجو پیدا ہو گئی ہے—مہربانی فرما کر سچ بات کہنے کے لائق ہوں۔

None in this verse; it prepares the listener for the forthcoming explanation about sacred places.
None; it is a request for satya-vacana (truthful explanation).
