Adhyaya 51 — Yaksha Injunctions: Graha-Children and Female Spirits Causing Domestic and Ritual Disruptions

Sanskrit

उद्वेगं जनयत्यन्या एकस्थाननिवासिनः ।

पुरुषस्य तु या प्रोक्ता भ्रामणी सा तु कन्यका ॥

Transliteration

udvegaṃ janayaty anyā eka-sthāna-nivāsinaḥ | puruṣasya tu yā proktā bhrāmaṇī sā tu kanyakā ||

Translation

બીજો એક (દોષ) એક જ સ્થળે વસતા લોકોમાં ચિંતા ઉત્પન્ન કરે છે. પુરુષના સંદર્ભમાં જેને ‘ભ્રામણી’ કહેવામાં આવી છે, તે પણ ‘કન્યકા’ (કન્યા-રૂપ બાધા) જ છે.

FAQs

What is the philosophical or ethical takeaway?

The verse recognizes persistent anxiety and unrest as a serious disruption to settled life; the dharmic response is to restore steadiness (sthiti) through discipline and protective practice.

How does this fit the Pancalakṣaṇa (5 characteristics)?

Ancillary āgama/ācāra-style material; not pancalakṣaṇa.

What is the esoteric significance?

‘Bhrāmaṇī’ can be read symbolically as the mind’s vortex—restlessness that dislodges a person from inner ‘one-pointed residence’; hence subsequent verses prescribe stabilizing countermeasures.
