मुंचामुं पुत्र याचंतं किमनेन प्रयोजनम् । अवमानो वधः प्रोक्तो वीरसंभावितस्य च
muṃcāmuṃ putra yācaṃtaṃ kimanena prayojanam | avamāno vadhaḥ prokto vīrasaṃbhāvitasya ca
“पुत्र, इसे छोड़ दे—यह याचना कर रहा है; इससे क्या प्रयोजन? जो वीर माना जाता है, उसके लिए अपमान ही वध के समान कहा गया है।”
Brahmā
Listener: Bāhvāyudha (addressed as ‘putra’)
Scene: Brahmā raises a calming hand, speaking to the victor: ‘Release him’; Indra kneels in supplication; the hero’s posture shifts from aggression to contemplation; the mother watches, approving restraint.
Dharma can require restraint: once an opponent is subdued and pleading, mercy preserves honor and prevents needless sin.
No tīrtha is described in this verse.
None; it is ethical counsel (nīti/dharma-upadeśa).
