Jājali–Tulādhāra-saṃvāda: Yajña, Vṛtti, and Ātma-tīrtha (जाजलि-तुलाधार-संवादः)
तत्रादहान्त भूतानि जड़मानि ध्रुवाणि च | महता क्रोधवेगेन कुपिते प्रपितामहे
tatrādahanta bhūtāni jaḍamāni dhruvāṇi ca | mahatā krodhavegena kupite prapitāmahe ||
নাৰদে ক’লে—তাত প্ৰপিতামহ ক্ৰুদ্ধ হোৱাত, মহা ক্ৰোধ-ৱেগে তেওঁ সকলো ভূতক—জড় আৰু ধ্ৰুৱ (স্থিৰ) উভয়কেই—দহি পেলালে।
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even a revered authority, when overtaken by krodha (anger), can cause widespread harm; the verse underscores the ethical necessity of self-restraint and the danger of wrath disrupting order and welfare.
Nārada describes an episode in which the Prāpitāmaha, inflamed by a powerful rush of anger, burns up beings—encompassing both insentient and steadfast/enduring entities—highlighting the destructive reach of uncontrolled fury.
