dṛṣṭvā manyeta sa kṣīṇamātmajīvitamāptavān | nāsikā vakratāmeti karṇayornnamanonnatī
إذا رأى هذه العلامات فليعلم أن عمره قد نَقَصَ وضعُف. فإذا اعوجَّ الأنف، وظهر في الأذنين هبوطٌ وارتفاعٌ غير منتظم، فذلك من دلائل انحسار الحياة.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) addressing the sages (deduced)
Scene: A calm but grave diagnostic scene: an elder or physician-like figure observes a person’s face—nose subtly crooked, ears uneven—while the subject contemplates shortened life.
Physical decline is interpreted as a dharmic reminder: use the remaining time for purification, truthfulness, and devotion.
No tīrtha is mentioned.
None; the verse lists bodily nimittas (signs).
