सद्धर्मः सत्कथा चैव सत्सेवा दर्शनं सताम् । विष्षुपूजा रतिर्दाने चातुर्मास्येषु दुर्लभाः
saddharmaḥ satkathā caiva satsevā darśanaṃ satām | viṣṣupūjā ratirdāne cāturmāsyeṣu durlabhāḥ
سَدھرم، ست کتھا، نیکوں کی خدمت اور ست پُرشوں کا درشن؛ وِشنو کی پوجا اور دان میں رغبت—چاتُرمَاسیہ کے مہینوں میں یہ سب بہت نایاب ہیں۔
A Purāṇic narrator addressing Devarṣi Nārada (deduced)
Listener: Nārada
Scene: A monsoon-season temple courtyard: sādhus and devotees gathered for satkathā; some perform seva; a shrine of Viṣṇu receives lamps and tulasī; donors distribute alms—showing the six ‘rare’ virtues together.
Sustaining dharma—satsaṅga, worship, and charity—requires uncommon resolve, especially in the Cāturmāsya period.
No geographic tīrtha is identified; the verse glorifies the sacred season and the culture of satsaṅga and worship.
Practice sat-dharma, attend satkathā, serve the virtuous, worship Viṣṇu, and cultivate joy in dāna during Cāturmāsya.
