Mohinī-ākhyāna: The Trial of Ekādaśī and the King’s Satya-saṅkalpa

Devanagari script

यस्तस्य वासो निरये युगानां षष्टिर्भवेद्वा क्रिमिदंशसंज्ञे । वृथा हि सूता मम सा जनित्री भवेन्निराशा द्विजपितृदेवाः ॥ ३० ॥

Transliteration

yastasya vāso niraye yugānāṃ ṣaṣṭirbhavedvā krimidaṃśasaṃjñe | vṛthā hi sūtā mama sā janitrī bhavennirāśā dvijapitṛdevāḥ || 30 ||

Translation

これを行う者は、六十ユガのあいだ地獄に住し、「クリミダンシャ（虫と噛みつくものの責め苦）」と呼ばれる領域に落ちる。まことに、母は私をむなしく産んだことになる。二度生まれの者たち、祖霊（ピトリ）と神々も希望を失うであろう。

FAQs

It functions as a dharma-śāstric warning: certain actions sever one from auspicious lineage-support (dvija, pitṛ, deva) and lead to prolonged naraka-experience, emphasizing accountability through karma-phala.

By highlighting the dreadful outcome of adharma, it indirectly reinforces the need for śuddha-ācāra and devotion-oriented living; bhakti in the Narada Purana is repeatedly framed as incompatible with conduct that drags one into naraka.

It reflects dharma-nirṇaya style reasoning (scriptural injunction and consequence) rather than a technical Vedāṅga lesson; the practical takeaway is adherence to prescribed conduct and avoidance of prohibited acts to protect pitṛ-tarpaṇa and deva-ṛṇa obligations.
