स्मृत्याचारविहीनस्तु गीतवाद्यविनोदभाक् । नटपाखंडिभंडैश्च बद्धप्रेमपरंपरः
smṛtyācāravihīnastu gītavādyavinodabhāk | naṭapākhaṃḍibhaṃḍaiśca baddhapremaparaṃparaḥ
Không còn giữ nề nếp do Smṛti dạy, hắn chỉ ham vui nơi ca hát và nhạc khí; rồi bị trói buộc bởi chuỗi ái luyến với bọn kép hát, kẻ giả đạo, và phường hề nhố nhăng.

Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A man sits amid musicians and actors with masks; nearby, ascetics and brāhmaṇas recite quietly. The composition shows a literal ‘chain’ motif linking him to buffoons and impostors, symbolizing attachment.
When Smṛti-guided conduct is abandoned, the mind runs toward entertainment and corrupt company, forging bondage through attachment.
No holy site is named; the verse supports the moral arc that later highlights the need for sacred refuge (as in Kāśī narratives).
None; it critiques the abandonment of Smṛti-based ācāra rather than prescribing a specific rite.
