श्रुतिस्मृतिभ्यामुदितं स्वेषु स्वेषु च कर्मसु । सदाचारं निषेवेत धर्ममूलमतंद्रितः
śrutismṛtibhyāmuditaṃ sveṣu sveṣu ca karmasu | sadācāraṃ niṣeveta dharmamūlamataṃdritaḥ
Hãy siêng năng, không biếng trễ, tu dưỡng chánh hạnh—cội rễ của Dharma—đúng như Śruti và Smṛti đã tuyên dạy, tùy theo bổn phận và hành nghiệp của mỗi người.
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: General audience; framed as instruction to the practitioner
Scene: A threefold emblem: Śruti as Veda manuscripts, Smṛti as dharma-śāstra text, and Ācāra as a person performing daily duties; the sage gestures to all three, indicating their harmony; Kāśī ghats appear as backdrop to show pilgrimage integrated with duty.
Dharma is sustained by disciplined conduct aligned with Śruti–Smṛti and applied as svadharma in one’s own life.
The verse belongs to the Kāśī Khaṇḍa discourse but does not name a particular tīrtha; it focuses on scriptural foundations of conduct.
A general prescription is given: diligently follow sadācāra in accordance with Śruti and Smṛti within one’s duties.
