यथायथा भवेल्लाभो वांचितस्य नृणामिह । हविषा कृष्णवर्त्मेव वृद्धिं याति तथातथा
yathāyathā bhavellābho vāṃcitasya nṛṇāmiha | haviṣā kṛṣṇavartmeva vṛddhiṃ yāti tathātathā
અહીં મનુષ્યને જેમ જેમ ઇચ્છિત લાભ મળે છે, તેમ તેમ તૃષ્ણા પણ વધે છે; હવિથી પોષિત અગ્નિ જેમ વધુ પ્રજ્વલિત થાય તેમ।
Atithi (inferred)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra (contextual frame)
Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: A contemplative pilgrim watches a sacrificial fire flare up as clarified butter is poured; the flame becomes a metaphor for craving swelling with each ‘gain’.
Satisfying craving often amplifies it; restraint and discernment are needed for peace.
The discourse is situated in the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra-māhātmya portion of Nāgara-khaṇḍa.
No direct prescription; the verse uses yajña imagery (havis and fire) as a moral metaphor.
