गालव उवाच । बकवृत्तिमुपाश्रित्य वंचितोऽहं यतस्त्वया । तस्माद्बकस्त्वं भविता चिरकालं नराधम
gālava uvāca | bakavṛttimupāśritya vaṃcito'haṃ yatastvayā | tasmādbakastvaṃ bhavitā cirakālaṃ narādhama
Dijo Gālava: «Porque, amparándote en la conducta de una grulla, me engañaste; por eso serás grulla por largo tiempo, oh el más vil de los hombres».
Gālava
Listener: The offender (addressed as ‘narādhama’)
Scene: Gālava pronounces the curse with judicial clarity; the offender is depicted with crane symbolism—either a shadow of a crane behind him or partial avian features—signaling the moral mirroring of deceit into form.
Deceit (vañcana) rebounds upon the deceiver; adopting hypocritical ‘crane-like’ behavior leads to fitting karmic punishment.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse is ethical and narrative.
None.
