Māyāmoha’s Delusion, Rejection of the Vedic Path, and the Fault of Heretical Association
तां पिता दातुकामो ऽभूद् वराय विनिवारितः तयैव तन्व्या विरतो विवाहारम्भतो नृपः
tāṃ pitā dātukāmo 'bhūd varāya vinivāritaḥ tayaiva tanvyā virato vivāhārambhato nṛpaḥ
তাইৰ পিতাই তাইক বৰলৈ দিবলৈ ইচ্ছা কৰিছিল, কিন্তু নিবাৰিত হ’ল; আৰু সেই সুকুমাৰী নিজেই, বিবাহ আৰম্ভ হ’বলৈ ধৰোঁতেই, ৰজাকো বিৰত কৰালে।
Sage Parāśara (narrating) to Maitreya
FAQs
This verse highlights dharmic restraint: even royal authority yields when circumstances (and the maiden’s own stance) prevent an improper or unwanted marriage from proceeding.
Parāśara’s narration explicitly credits the maiden (tanvī) as the immediate cause for the king’s withdrawal, indicating that her position meaningfully redirects the event.
Within Ansha 4’s lineage histories, such turning points are presented as part of the larger dharmic order upheld under Vishnu’s sovereignty—events in royal houses unfold within a providential moral framework.
