Narrative of the Śūdra’s Renunciation of Greed
with the Tulādhāra Greatness Prelude
उन्मादात्कामसंजात विकारान्मतिविभ्रमः । भ्रमान्मोहोप्यहंकारः क्रोधलोभावतः परं
unmādātkāmasaṃjāta vikārānmativibhramaḥ | bhramānmohopyahaṃkāraḥ krodhalobhāvataḥ paraṃ
من الجنون تنشأ التحوّلات المولودة من الشهوة؛ ومن تلك التحوّلات يقع اضطراب الفهم. ومن الاضطراب ينشأ الوهم، ومن الوهم يتولّد الإحساس بالأنا؛ وبعد ذلك تنبعث الغضب والطمع.
Unspecified (narrative/teaching voice within Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa context)

Application: Interrupt the chain early: regulate sense-input, practice japa, keep sattvic company, and offer desires into Vishnu-oriented intention before they harden into ego and anger.
