Indra’s Query on Karma-vipāka and the Viśvarūpa Episode
Lalitopākhyāna Context
तदघं तु त्रिधा भित्त्वा त्रिषु स्थानेष्वथार्पयत् / स्त्रीषु भूम्यां च वृक्षेषु तेषामपि वरं ददौ
tadaghaṃ tu tridhā bhittvā triṣu sthāneṣvathārpayat / strīṣu bhūmyāṃ ca vṛkṣeṣu teṣāmapi varaṃ dadau
He split that sin into three parts and placed them in three abodes—among women, in the earth, and in the trees; and to them too He granted a boon.
