Matsya Purana — The Syamantaka Jewel Episode and the Vrishni–Sainya Genealogies
*जाम्बवानुवाच इच्छे चक्रप्रहारेण त्वत्तो ऽहं मरणं प्रभो कन्या चेयं मम शुभा भर्तारं त्वामवाप्नुयात् यो ऽयं मणिः प्रसेनं तु हत्वा प्राप्तो मया प्रभो //
*jāmbavānuvāca icche cakraprahāreṇa tvatto 'haṃ maraṇaṃ prabho kanyā ceyaṃ mama śubhā bhartāraṃ tvāmavāpnuyāt yo 'yaṃ maṇiḥ prasenaṃ tu hatvā prāpto mayā prabho //
Jāmbavān said: “O Lord, I seek death at your hands by the blow of the discus. And may this auspicious daughter of mine attain you as her husband. This jewel—having been obtained by me after slaying Prasena—I now offer to you, O Lord.”
FAQs
Nothing directly—this verse is from a heroic narrative episode focused on surrender, restitution, and the transfer of the Syamantaka jewel, not cosmic dissolution.
It underscores restitution and moral accountability: wealth gained through violence or wrongful possession should be returned to the rightful authority, and alliances (marriage) are framed as dharmic resolutions to conflict.
No Vāstu or temple-ritual instruction appears here; the ritual-ethical takeaway is the act of surrender and offering (dāna/arpana) to resolve wrongdoing.
