चान्द्रायणानि विधिवल्लिङ्गानि विविधानि च। चातुराश्रम्यपन्थानमाश्रयत्यपथानपि॥ उपाश्रमानण्यपरान् पाषण्डान् विविधानपि। विविक्ताच शिलाच्छायास्तथा प्रस्रवणानि च॥ पुलिनानि विविक्तानि विविक्तानि वनानि च। देवस्थानानि पुण्यानि विविक्तानि सरांसि च॥ विविक्ताश्चापि शैलानां गुहा गृहनिभोपमाः। विविक्तानि च जप्यानि व्रतानि विविधानि च॥ नियमान् विविधांश्चापि विविधानि तपांसि च। यज्ञांश्च विविधाकारान् विधींश्च विविधांस्तथा॥
