वेदान्तेषु च मां विप्रा गर्हसंयति पुनःपुनः । महाशनो महापाप्मा कामोऽयम नलो गहान्
vedānteṣu ca māṃ viprā garhasaṃyati punaḥpunaḥ | mahāśano mahāpāpmā kāmo'yama nalo gahān
वेदान्तों में भी ब्राह्मण मुझे बार-बार धिक्कारते हैं—“यह काम महाभक्षक है, महापापी है; अग्नि की भाँति घरों को भस्म कर देता है।”
Madana (Kāmadeva)
Scene: A contemplative assembly where brāhmaṇas cite Vedānta and denounce Kāma; Kāma is visualized as a blazing fire consuming houses, symbolizing uncontrolled desire.
Unchecked desire is destructive like fire; spiritual wisdom repeatedly urges restraint and purification of intent.
None; the verse is doctrinal, referencing Vedānta rather than sacred geography.
No explicit rite; the implied practice is self-control (saṃyama) over desire.
