श्रिया तेषां च किं कार्यं समृद्धानां तथापि यत् । जातिधर्मेण चाभेद्या विधातुरपि ते मताः
śriyā teṣāṃ ca kiṃ kāryaṃ samṛddhānāṃ tathāpi yat | jātidharmeṇa cābhedyā vidhāturapi te matāḥ
すでに栄えている彼らに、富の施しが何の役に立とうか。生来の性と氏族のダルマによって、彼らは変え難き者と見なされる――定めを司る者(ヴィダータ)でさえも。
Bṛhaspati
Listener: Suraśreṣṭha (deva leadership)
Scene: Bṛhaspati explains that wealth cannot sway the already wealthy; Daityas appear adorned and unmoved, standing in tight-knit ranks bound by their own code, while the deva counsel scene turns from offering to strategic reassessment.
External incentives cannot reform those bound to harmful nature; discernment prevents wasted effort and protects dharma.
No tīrtha is mentioned.
