परश्रियाभितप्यंते हीनां सवंति ये स्त्रियाम् । पंक्त्यर्थं ये न कुर्वंति दानयज्ञादिकाः क्रियाः
paraśriyābhitapyaṃte hīnāṃ savaṃti ye striyām | paṃktyarthaṃ ye na kurvaṃti dānayajñādikāḥ kriyāḥ
Those who burn with envy at another’s prosperity, who beget children upon a woman of prohibited or low status, and who do not perform acts such as charity and sacrifice for the sake of communal religious obligation—such people are censured.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: Two contrasting figures: one person scorched by inner envy watching another’s prosperity; beside them, a communal line of pilgrims/brāhmaṇas awaiting charity and offerings, with the negligent person turning away from dāna-yajña.
