Trita in the Well (Udapāna-kathā) — Balarāma’s Tīrtha Observances
अनादृत्य तु तद् वाक्य दक्षस्य भगवान् शशी । रोहिण्या सार्थमवसत् ततस्ता: कुपिता: पुनः
anādṛtya tu tad vākyaṃ dakṣasya bhagavān śaśī | rohiṇyā sārtham avasat tatastāḥ kupitāḥ punaḥ ||
Doch der göttliche Mond missachtete Dakṣas Worte und blieb bei Rohiṇī wohnen. Darum gerieten die anderen abermals in Zorn.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Ignoring legitimate admonition and showing favoritism—especially in relationships—breeds renewed anger and social imbalance; ethical conduct requires restraint, fairness, and respect for rightful counsel.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the Moon, despite Dakṣa’s instruction, continued to live with Rohiṇī; as a result, the other women (implicitly Dakṣa’s other daughters/wives of the Moon) became angry again.
