मलीमसेन पापेन पांचभौतेन किं सुखम् । बालोयं वेदविच्छांतस्तपस्वी बहुशास्त्रवित्
malīmasena pāpena pāṃcabhautena kiṃ sukham | bāloyaṃ vedavicchāṃtastapasvī bahuśāstravit
Welches Glück kann in diesem schmutzigen, sündigen Körper liegen, der aus den fünf Elementen besteht? Dieser Junge ist friedvoll, ein Kenner der Veden, ein Asket und gelehrt in vielen Schriften.
The wife (Madayantī, praising the boy and condemning bodily sin)
Scene: A serene, learned boy-ascetic sits composed, holding a palm-leaf manuscript; the speaker gestures toward the frailty of the five-element body, contrasting purity of mind with bodily impurity.
Worldly embodiment is fragile and morally perilous; Vedic knowledge, peace, and tapas are upheld as true worth.
No tīrtha is mentioned.
None; the verse is evaluative, praising tapas and learning.
