मधुमांसं प्राणिहिंसां भास्करालोकनांजने । स्त्रियं पर्युषितोच्छिष्टंपरिवादं विवजर्येत्
madhumāṃsaṃ prāṇihiṃsāṃ bhāskarālokanāṃjane | striyaṃ paryuṣitocchiṣṭaṃparivādaṃ vivajaryet
Nên tránh mật ong và thịt, việc sát hại sinh linh, nhìn chằm chằm mặt trời và bôi thuốc kohl; cũng vậy, tránh giao du tà hạnh với phụ nữ, thức ăn ôi thiu và đồ thừa, cùng lời gièm pha phỉ báng.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A Kāśī pilgrim turns away from a butcher’s stall and from a gossiping group; he offers grains to a cow, eats fresh sattvic food, and keeps respectful distance from illicit temptation; the sun is shown veiled as he avoids staring.
Purity of body, speech, and conduct sustains spiritual merit—avoid harm, impurity, and corrosive speech.
The guidance is situated within Kāśī Khaṇḍa’s framework for sanctified living in Kāśī, rather than a single named tirtha.
A set of niyamas (avoidances) is given: certain foods, harmful acts, and impure/defaming behaviors are prohibited.
