brāhmaṇy uvāca—nāhaṁ gṛhṇāmi vastāta dṛṣṭiṁ nāsmi ruṣānvitā | ayaṁ tu bhārgavo nūnam ūrūjaḥ kupito ’dya vaḥ ||
La mujer brahmán dijo: «Hijo querido, yo no he “arrebatado” tu vista, ni albergo ira contra ti. Pero este muchacho Bhārgava—nacido de mi muslo—sin duda se ha airado hoy contra vosotros».

Educational Q&A
The verse distinguishes personal intention from the consequences produced by another’s wrath: one should not hastily blame an innocent party, and one must recognize how anger—especially when backed by spiritual power—can create harm and demands restraint.
A Brahmin woman clarifies that she has not caused the affliction (loss of sight) nor is she angry; rather, the Bhārgava child born from her thigh is the one who has become enraged against the addressed group, indicating that the danger arises from his wrath.
