लोभमोहमदाद्यैर्ये वर्जिताः पुण्यबुद्धयः ॥ य एतत्पठते नित्यं कल्यमुत्थाय मानवः ॥
lobha-moha-madādyair ye varjitāḥ puṇya-buddhayaḥ | ya etat paṭhate nityaṃ kalyam utthāya mānavaḥ ||
lobhamohamadAdyairye varjitAH puNyabuddhayaH || ya etatpaThate nityaM kalyamutthAya mAnavaH
जो लोग लोभ, मोह और अहंकार से दूर रहते हैं, उनके पास अच्छी बुद्धि होती है। जो इंसान सुबह उठ के यह रोज़ पढ़ता है, उसे वो सब फायदा मिलता है।
Sandhi Notes
- madādyaiḥ = mada + ādyaiḥ
- etatpaṭhate in continuous recitation often appears as etat paṭhate
- kalyam is an avyaya meaning 'in the morning'
Varāha
Inner purity (freedom from greed/delusion/pride) is reinforced through daily śravaṇa/paṭhana begun at brahma-muhūrta.
Adopt a dawn routine: स्नान/आचमन, brief saṅkalpa, then nitya-paṭhana with attention and humility; monitor lobha–moha–mada as daily checkpoints.
Instructional address within the Varāha–Bhū dialogue frame
One should rise at dawn and recite the sacred text daily, cultivating freedom from lobha, moha, and mada as marks of पुण्यबुद्धि.
Regular dawn-recitation by a purified mind leads to the promised पुण्य and auspicious results implied by the surrounding phalaśruti; neglect implies loss of that merit and steadiness.
