Ici, il naît avec une odeur impure, vivant de la fortune d’autrui : pécheurs déchus de leurs devoirs propres, renonçant aux disciplines de varṇa et d’āśrama.
Skanda (deduced from Skanda Purana narrative style within Āvantya Khaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Revā-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A moralized rebirth scene: a person born with foul odor and signs of impurity, shown living off another’s wealth, contrasted with an orderly āśrama setting where duties are performed—fire ritual, study, service—near a sacred riverbank.
One should live by svadharma and disciplined life; abandoning rightful duty and integrity leads to degradation.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned; the verse is a general dharma admonition within the Revā Khaṇḍa.
No explicit ritual; it prescribes adherence to svadharma and varṇāśrama disciplines as a lived practice.
