भरद्वाज उवाच । जीर्यंति जीर्यतः केशा दंता जीर्यंति जीर्यतः । चक्षुः श्रोत्रे च जीर्येते तृष्णैका न तु जीर्यते
bharadvāja uvāca | jīryaṃti jīryataḥ keśā daṃtā jīryaṃti jīryataḥ | cakṣuḥ śrotre ca jīryete tṛṣṇaikā na tu jīryate
Bharadvāja berkata: Ketika usia menua, rambut pun menua; ketika usia menua, gigi pun menua. Mata dan telinga juga merosot—hanya nafsu-haus (tṛṣṇā) saja yang tidak menua.
Bharadvāja
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Bharadvāja, compassionate yet firm, enumerates signs of aging: greying hair, worn teeth, dimming eyes and ears; behind him the sea and temple stand timeless, contrasting the perishing body with enduring dharma.
Physical faculties fade with age, but craving persists unless consciously restrained through dharma and detachment.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra; the site’s glory is paired with inner teaching that uproots desire.
None directly; it is a contemplative instruction encouraging vairāgya.
