कथं न भवती मातः प्रिया क्षितिपतेरसि । कथमुत्तमतां प्राप्त उत्तमः सुरुचेः सुतः
kathaṃ na bhavatī mātaḥ priyā kṣitipaterasi | kathamuttamatāṃ prāpta uttamaḥ suruceḥ sutaḥ
«Madre, ¿cómo es que tú no eres amada por el señor de la tierra? ¿Y cómo es que Uttama, el hijo de Suruci, es quien ha alcanzado la preeminencia?»
Dhruva
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sages
Scene: Dhruva points subtly toward the idea of the king and Uttama, questioning fate; Sunīti’s gaze drops, bearing the weight of courtly neglect; the scene foreshadows Dhruva’s turn to tapas.
Worldly rank often follows preference and circumstance; spiritual greatness is pursued through tapas and dharma.
No tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
None.
