तस्मात्सदा शुभं कार्यमविच्छिन्नसुखार्थिभिः । विच्छिद्यंतेऽन्यथा भोगा ग्रीष्मे कुसरितो यथा
tasmātsadā śubhaṃ kāryamavicchinnasukhārthibhiḥ | vicchidyaṃte'nyathā bhogā grīṣme kusarito yathā
Vì vậy, ai cầu hạnh phúc không gián đoạn thì phải luôn làm điều thiện. Bằng không, các hưởng thụ sẽ bị cắt đứt—như những dòng suối nhỏ khô cạn vào mùa hạ.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Scene: A moral allegory: a broad perennial river (symbol of continuous śubha) flows beside a thin rivulet that dries under a blazing summer sun (symbol of broken bhoga). A teacher points to the landscape while instructing a pilgrim.
Lasting happiness depends on consistent virtuous conduct; pleasure without dharma is unstable and quickly ends.
No specific sacred place is praised in this verse.
No particular rite is listed; the prescription is continual śubha conduct as a daily discipline.
