पापानामसदालापैरायुर्याति यथान्वहम् । तदहं कीर्तयिष्यामि तीर्थस्यास्य गुणान्बहून्
pāpānāmasadālāpairāyuryāti yathānvaham | tadahaṃ kīrtayiṣyāmi tīrthasyāsya guṇānbahūn
جس طرح گناہگار بے سود گفتگو سے روز بہ روز اپنی عمر گنواتے ہیں، اسی طرح میں اب اس مقدّس تیرتھ کی بہت سی خوبیاں بیان کروں گا۔
Nārada
Listener: Pārtha (Arjuna)
Scene: A sage-narrator begins a tīrtha-māhātmya discourse; on one side people squander time in idle talk, on the other attentive listeners sit with folded hands as the sacred place’s virtues are proclaimed.
Speech shapes destiny: idle talk drains life, while sacred narration (kīrtana) turns time into merit.
The tīrtha is referenced as “this tīrtha,” but its name is not given in the verse.
Kīrtana—devotional recitation/proclamation of tīrtha-māhātmya—is presented as a wholesome practice.
