The Greatness of Kubjāmraka: Raibhya’s Boon and the Teaching on the Sacred Tīrthas
न बुध्यतोस्तथात्मानं मम मायाविमोहितौ ॥ एवं तौ विहरन्तौ तु तस्मिन्नुपवने ततः ॥
na budhyatos tathātmānaṃ mama māyāvimohitau || evaṃ tau viharantau tu tasminn upavane tataḥ ||
मेरी माया ने दोनों को इतना भुला दिया कि वो खुद को पहचान नहीं पा रहे थे। दोनों उस बगीचे में घूमते रहे।
Varāha (default framework; first-person ‘mama’ indicates instructor/narrator)
It documents a standard Sanskrit narrative motif—māyā-induced non-recognition—used to explore cognition, identity, and the limits of perception.
Only a generic ‘upavana’ (grove) is mentioned; it may be associated with a tīrtha setting in surrounding verses.
It cautions that delusion can obscure self-knowledge, implying the value of discernment and reflective awareness.
