Garuḍa–Śakra Saṃvāda and the Retrieval of Amṛta (गरुड–शक्र संवादः अमृत-अपहरण-प्रसङ्गः)
कश्यप उवाच पुत्र मा साहसं कार्षी्मा सद्यो लप्स्यसे व्यथाम् | मा त्वां दहेयु: संक्रुद्धा वालखिल्या मरीचिपा:
kaśyapa uvāca putra mā sāhasaṁ kārṣīḥ mā sadyo lapsyase vyathām | mā tvāṁ daheyuḥ saṁkruddhā vālakhilyā marīcipāḥ ||
Dijo Kaśyapa: “Hijo mío, no obres con temeridad; de lo contrario, caerás de inmediato en un dolor gravísimo. No provoques a los sabios Vālakhilya—bebedores de los rayos del Sol—pues, si se enfurecen, pueden reducirte a cenizas.”
कश्यप उवाच
Educational Q&A
Reckless action invites immediate suffering; ethical restraint and respect toward powerful ascetics are essential, since their anger—born of tapas—can bring swift consequences.
Kashyapa cautions his son against a rash deed and warns that the Vālakhilya sages, famed as ‘drinkers of the Sun’s rays,’ if provoked, may incinerate him in their wrath.
