ययौ कृपाणमादाय सा तमींधे निशामुखे । अविमृश्य मदावेशान्मेषबुद्ध्यामिषप्रिया
yayau kṛpāṇamādāya sā tamīṃdhe niśāmukhe | avimṛśya madāveśānmeṣabuddhyāmiṣapriyā
夜のはじめ、彼女は小刀を手にして闇へと分け入った。思慮もなく、酒の酔いに圧され、肉を好むあまり、それを羊と思い違えて事に及んだ。
Narrator (context not explicit in excerpt; likely Purāṇic narrator within Brahmottarakhaṇḍa)
Scene: At nightfall she enters darkness with a knife; intoxication clouds her mind and she mistakes the target as a sheep—an instant before a grievous act.
Drunken heedlessness (pramāda) leads to delusion and harmful action; dharma requires clarity and restraint.
