शापोक्तिमात्रतो राजा पतितो ब्राह्मणस्य हि । तत्रैवाजगरो भूत्वा विप्रशापो दुरत्ययः
śāpoktimātrato rājā patito brāhmaṇasya hi | tatraivājagaro bhūtvā vipraśāpo duratyayaḥ
À la seule parole de la malédiction, le roi tomba devant le brahmane. Là même il devint python, car la malédiction d’un brahmane est difficile à surmonter.
Narrator (Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa tradition within Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Kedāra-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: The king collapses at the brahmin’s feet as his body elongates and thickens into a python on the spot; attendants recoil; Agastya stands firm, the curse fulfilled instantly.
Karmic consequence can be immediate when grave disrespect is shown to the righteous; humility safeguards spiritual and worldly welfare.
No particular tīrtha is mentioned in this verse; it concludes a moral episode situated within the Kedārakhaṇḍa context.
None.
