Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 51

Devanagari script

उद्दिश्य कुपितो हत्वा तोषितं वासयेत्पुनः । तस्मिन्मृते न दोषोऽस्ति द्वयोरुच्छ्रावणे कृते

Transliteration

uddiśya kupito hatvā toṣitaṃ vāsayetpunaḥ | tasminmṛte na doṣo'sti dvayorucchrāvaṇe kṛte

Translation

Wenn jemand im Zorn und mit bestimmter Absicht einen Menschen schlägt (oder gar tötet), soll er ihn danach wiederherstellen und den Besänftigten erneut geordnet ansiedeln. Und stirbt jener, so liegt keine Schuld vor—sofern die förmliche Verkündigung gegenüber beiden Parteien ordnungsgemäß erfolgt ist.

Tirtha Mahatmya

Visual Art Cues

Scene: A tense confrontation dissolves into reconciliation: an aggressor, formerly enraged, now offers water, cloth, and respectful gestures to the injured party; elders/priestly witnesses stand between them, reciting a formal proclamation; the sacred coastal kṣetra frames the moral repair.

FAQs

Anger-driven harm still demands dharmic rectification; proper restitution and due procedure are emphasized as safeguards against further blame.

The broader passage belongs to Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya, setting the stage for the purifying power of Prabhāsa and Sarasvatī.

A formal ‘ucchrāvaṇa’ (public declaration/announcement) and the act of restoring/settling the wronged party are prescribed as part of dharmic remediation.
