Parikṣit–Śṛṅgī–Takṣaka Causal Link
Devanagari script
नूनं सर्वविनाशो5यमस्माकं समुपागत: । न होतां सोडव्ययो देव: शपन्न्तीं प्रत्यषेधयत्,निश्चय ही यह हमारे सर्वगाशका समय आ गया है, क्योंकि अविनाशी देव भगवान् ब्रह्माने भी शाप देते समय माताको मना नहीं किया
Transliteration
nūnaṃ sarva-vināśo ’yam asmākaṃ samupāgataḥ | na hi tāṃ soḍhum avyayo devaḥ śapantīṃ praty-aṣedhayat ||
Translation
Surely the hour of our total destruction has arrived. For even the imperishable divine Lord did not restrain the mother as she uttered her curse—so inexorable is the force of a righteous imprecation once it has been released.
