Chatra–Upānah Dāna: Origin Narrative
Jamadagni–Reṇukā–Sūrya Saṃvāda
नहुष उवाच अतिथिर्ग॑हसंस्थो<स्तु कामवृत्तस्तु दीक्षित: । विद्यां प्रयच्छतु भूतो यस्ते हरति पुष्करम्,नहुष बोले--जिसने आपके कमलोंका अपहरण किया हो, वह संन्यासी होकर भी घरमें रहे। यज्ञकी दीक्षा लेकर भी इच्छाचारी हो और वेतन लेकर विद्या पढ़ाये, अर्थात् इन सब पापोंके फलका भागी हो
Nahuṣa uvāca: atithir gṛha-saṁstho 'stu kāma-vṛttaḥ tu dīkṣitaḥ | vidyāṁ prayacchatu bhūto yas te harati puṣkaram ||
Nahuṣa said: “May the one who has stolen your lotus-flowers become a renunciant and yet remain lodged within a house; may he be consecrated for sacrifice and yet live by whim and desire; and may he teach knowledge for wages—thus incurring the share of sinful results born of such hypocritical, dharma-violating ways of life.”
