रसभेदी तुलाभेदी तथा वार्द्धुषिकस्तु यः । यः कन्याविघ्नकर्ता च तथा विक्रयकारकः
rasabhedī tulābhedī tathā vārddhuṣikastu yaḥ | yaḥ kanyāvighnakartā ca tathā vikrayakārakaḥ
Wer Waren verfälscht, wer Gewichte und Maße manipuliert, und wer Wucher treibt; wer die rechtmäßige Vermählung einer Jungfrau behindert, und ebenso wer sie verkauft—
Mārkaṇḍeya (contextual continuation)
Tirtha: Śūlabheda
Type: ghat
Scene: A bazaar scene fades into a riverside: dishonest scales and tainted goods are symbolically cast away; the pilgrim offers corrected weights and charity before bathing at the śūla-marked ghāṭa.
Puranic dharma includes economic honesty and protection of vulnerable persons; exploitation is treated as serious moral failure.
Śūlabheda tīrtha is the implied sacred focus of the surrounding phalaśruti.
None here; the verse lists transgressions later said to be removed by Śūlabheda’s power.
