किं पुनर्नंदिनी यैषा सर्वकामप्रदायिनी । अपरं शृणु राजेंद्र स्मृतिवाक्यमनुत्तमम्
kiṃ punarnaṃdinī yaiṣā sarvakāmapradāyinī | aparaṃ śṛṇu rājeṃdra smṛtivākyamanuttamam
پھر اس نندنی کا تو کیا کہنا، جو ہر مراد عطا کرنے والی ہے! اے شاہان کے سردار، اب سمرتی کا وہ بے مثال فرمان سنو۔
Vasiṣṭha
Tirtha: Nandinī
Type: kund
Listener: Rājendra (a king)
Scene: A sage addresses a king, pointing toward a luminous sacred water-source named Nandinī, described as wish-fulfilling; the moment is didactic, with the aura of Smṛti authority.
Dharma is upheld through scripture-backed authority; extraordinary sacred gifts warrant even stronger protection.
No named tīrtha appears in this shloka; it continues a dharma-focused episode within Tīrthamāhātmya.
No direct ritual instruction; it appeals to Smṛti as normative guidance for righteous conduct.
