Adhyaya 75 — The Fall and Restoration of Revatī Nakṣatra and the Birth of Raivata Manu
ऋषिरुवाच
प्रियेतिसाम्प्रतं येयं त्वयोक्ता वरवर्णिनी ।
किं विस्मृतन्ते भूपाल श्लाघ्येयं गृहिणी तव ॥
ṛṣir uvāca
priyeti sāmprataṃ yeyaṃ tvayoktā varavarṇinī /
kiṃ vismṛtante bhūpāla ślāghyeyaṃ gṛhiṇī tava //
ऋषि बोले—अभी तो तुमने ही उसे ‘प्रिया’ कहकर पुकारा था, यह श्रेष्ठ तेजस्विनी स्त्री। हे पृथ्वीपाल, तुम उसे क्यों भूल गए? तुम्हारी यह पत्नी स्तुति के योग्य है।

Forgetfulness of one’s obligations—especially toward those who sustain one’s life and dharma—is treated as a moral lapse. Praise without remembrance/commitment is hollow.
Didactic narrative; not pañcalakṣaṇa.
‘Smṛti’ (memory) is a spiritual faculty; its distortion indicates inner veiling. The sage’s reminder functions like a guru’s intervention to restore right-seeing.
