वयं न यामो यद्भाव्यं तदस्माकं भवत्विह । इति प्रोक्तं विषास्यैस्तैस्तदा कुटिलगामिभिः
vayaṃ na yāmo yadbhāvyaṃ tadasmākaṃ bhavatviha | iti proktaṃ viṣāsyaistaistadā kuṭilagāmibhiḥ
Ainsi parlèrent ceux dont la bouche distille le venin et dont la marche est tortueuse : «Nous n’irons pas ; que ce qui est destiné nous advienne ici même».
Narrator (Skanda, in Kāśīkhaṇḍa context)
Scene: Venomous, sinuous nāgas with ‘crooked movement’ are shown paradoxically upright in resolve, turning away from the task; a looming shadow of curse/fate hangs above, yet their posture is calm and firm.
It dramatizes the tension between destiny and choice—refusal to participate in adharma is still a moral stance.
No specific tirtha is mentioned in this verse.
None.
