श्रुत्वा पिकस्वरं रंभां दृष्ट्वा च मुनिपुंगवः । संशयाविष्टहृदयो विदित्वा शक्रकर्म तत् । शशाप रंभां क्रोधेन विश्वामित्रस्तपोधनः
śrutvā pikasvaraṃ raṃbhāṃ dṛṣṭvā ca munipuṃgavaḥ | saṃśayāviṣṭahṛdayo viditvā śakrakarma tat | śaśāpa raṃbhāṃ krodhena viśvāmitrastapodhanaḥ
Entendant la voix du coucou et voyant Rambhā, le plus éminent des sages—le cœur saisi de doute—reconnut là l’œuvre de Śakra. Alors Viśvāmitra, riche en tapas, maudit Rambhā dans sa colère.
Narrator
Tirtha: Viśvāmitrāśrama
Type: kshetra
Scene: The sage, hearing the cuckoo and seeing Rambhā, narrows his gaze in suspicion; realization dawns that Indra is behind it. His ascetic calm breaks into fiery anger as he pronounces a curse, while Rambhā stands startled, the forest momentarily tense and still.
Tapas grants discernment and power, yet anger can still erupt; the verse warns that spiritual strength must be paired with restraint.
No named tīrtha appears in this verse; it is an event within the Setukhaṇḍa storyline.
None; it narrates recognition of deceit and the issuing of a curse.
