वापीकूपतडागानां भेत्तारो ये च पापिनः । उद्यानवाटिकानां च छेत्तारो ये च दुर्जनाः
vāpīkūpataḍāgānāṃ bhettāro ye ca pāpinaḥ | udyānavāṭikānāṃ ca chettāro ye ca durjanāḥ
الرجالُ الآثمون الذين يهدمون الآبارَ والآبارَ المدرّجةَ والبرك، والأشرارُ الذين يقطعون البساتينَ والحدائق—(حتى لمثل هؤلاء تُقرّ الشاسترا عواقبَ وتصنيفات).
Munis (continuation of the catalogue of offenders)
Scene: A village-tīrtha landscape: a stepwell (vāpī), a well (kūpa), and a pond (tadāga) near a grove; vandals break embankments and cut trees while pilgrims look on in distress; a sage points in admonition.
Harming shared resources—water bodies and gardens—violates dharma because it injures the community and the sacred landscape.
No specific tīrtha is named; the verse supports the Revā Khaṇḍa’s broader sacred-geography ethic of preserving life-sustaining places.
None in this line; it is part of a moral catalogue of wrongdoing.
