ततोऽहं यौवनं प्राप्तो यदा द्विजवरोत्तम तदा मे दयितस्तातः पंचत्वं समुपागतः
tato'haṃ yauvanaṃ prāpto yadā dvijavarottama tadā me dayitastātaḥ paṃcatvaṃ samupāgataḥ
Dann, als ich die Jugend erreicht hatte, o Bester der Brāhmaṇas, da gelangte mein geliebter Vater zur „pañcatva“—er kehrte zu den fünf Elementen zurück, das heißt, er verschied.
Atithi
Listener: Dvijavaro (addressed as ‘O best of brāhmaṇas’)
Scene: A youth receives the blow of his father’s death; the phrase ‘pañcatva’ suggests the body’s elemental return—somber, restrained mourning.
Human life is impermanent; the Purāṇic frame uses bereavement to pivot toward dharma, pilgrimage-merit, and inner detachment.
No tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
None; it narrates a life event (death).
