ऋषयोऽपि च धर्मिष्ठास्तत्त्ववाक्यबहिष्कृताः । विवादनिरता मूढा अतत्त्वज्ञाः समत्सराः
ṛṣayo'pi ca dharmiṣṭhāstattvavākyabahiṣkṛtāḥ | vivādaniratā mūḍhā atattvajñāḥ samatsarāḥ
“وہ رشی بھی—اگرچہ دیندار کہلاتے تھے—سچ کے کلام سے محروم کر دیے گئے؛ جھگڑے میں لگے رہنے والے، گمراہ، حقیقت سے ناواقف اور حسد سے بھرے ہوئے۔”
Ākāśavāṇī (continuing the evaluative condemnation)
Tirtha: Kedāra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Assembly of sages (as addressed)
Scene: Sages once honored now appear quarrelsome—gesturing sharply, brows furrowed—while a faint luminous 'tattva-vākya' scroll recedes from them, symbolizing exclusion from truth.
True dharma is measured by alignment with tattva (truth), not by reputation; envy and contentiousness obscure wisdom.
No specific site is named; the Kedāra narrative teaches ethical conduct that supports sacred life and pilgrimage purity.
None explicitly; it warns against quarrelsome conduct and deviation from truthful doctrine.
