क्षणैः षष्ट्या पलं प्रोक्तं षष्ट्या तेषां च नाडिका । नाडिकाद्वितयेनैव मुहूर्तं परिकीर्तितम्
kṣaṇaiḥ ṣaṣṭyā palaṃ proktaṃ ṣaṣṭyā teṣāṃ ca nāḍikā | nāḍikādvitayenaiva muhūrtaṃ parikīrtitam
ساٹھ ‘کشن’ کو ایک ‘پَل’ کہا گیا ہے؛ اور ان پَلوں کے ساٹھ سے ایک ‘ناڑیکا’ بنتی ہے۔ دو ناڑیکاؤں سے ہی ایک ‘مہورت’ مقرر ہوتا ہے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa)
Listener: viprendra (best of brāhmaṇas)
Scene: A water-clock (ghaṭī-yantra) or clepsydra sits beside the sage; two nāḍikās are shown as a marked interval; pilgrims in the background prepare for a muhūrta-based bath.
Right action (dharma) includes right timing; muhūrta-based discipline links human practice to cosmic rhythm.
None directly; the teaching supports the scheduling of tirtha rites and festival observances.
