कल्माषपाद-शाप-कारणम्
Cause of Kalmāṣapāda’s Niyoga under a Curse
है अर छा | अ-क्राछ द्विसप्तत्याधिकशततमो< ध्याय: वसिष्ठदजीकी सहायतासे राजा संवरणको तपतीकी प्राप्ति गन्धर्व उवाच एवमुक्त्वा ततस्तूर्ण जगामोर्ध्वमनिन्दिता । सतु राजा पुनर्भूमौ तत्रैव निपपात ह
gandharva uvāca | evam uktvā tataḥ tūrṇaṃ jagāma ūrdhvam aninditā | sa tu rājā punaḥ bhūmau tatraiva nipapāta ha ||
ガンダルヴァは言った。「そう言い終えるや、非の打ちどころなきタパティーはたちまち天へと舞い上がった。地上に取り残されたサンヴァラナ王は、その場に再び倒れ伏し、気を失った。」
गन्धर्व उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the power of desire and separation: even a king can be physically undone by intense longing. The epithet ‘aninditā’ also frames Tapati as morally blameless, suggesting that strong emotion should be understood within a context of virtue and restraint rather than mere impulse.
After speaking, Tapati departs upward into the sky. King Saṃvaraṇa, unable to bear the moment, collapses again on the earth in the same place, indicating shock, grief, or lovesick fainting.
