न व्यजानंत तन्मांसं गुप्तं स्वादु क्षुधार्द्दिताः
na vyajānaṃta tanmāṃsaṃ guptaṃ svādu kṣudhārdditāḥ
भूख से पीड़ित वे लोग स्वादिष्ट होने के कारण उस छिपे हुए मांस को पहचान न सके।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating (contextual attribution)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Brāhmaṇas eat with relief, unaware of the concealed meat; their faces show hunger easing into satisfaction, while a subtle shadow motif hints at the hidden transgression.
Hunger and circumstance can cloud discernment; dharma emphasizes vigilance regarding purity and intention.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, where moral narratives are embedded in the sacred geography.
No explicit rite; the verse implicitly relates to āhāra-śuddhi (purity of food).
