सकामेन कृतं पापमकामं नैव जायते । ताभ्यां विषयभेदेन प्रायश्चित्तं विधीयते

Scene: A judge-like sage explains two paths of expiation, showing a balance scale: one side labeled kāma (intent), the other akāma (unintentional), with a pilgrim listening beside sacred waters.
Dharma evaluates both deed and intent; spiritual remedies are tailored to the nature of the fault.
No specific site is named; the instruction occurs within the Kedārakhaṇḍa sacred narrative frame.
