निर्दोषोऽपि त्वया यस्माच्छप्तोऽहं गणिकाधमे । तस्माद्भव त्वमप्याशु जराजर्जरितांगिका
nirdoṣo'pi tvayā yasmācchapto'haṃ gaṇikādhame | tasmādbhava tvamapyāśu jarājarjaritāṃgikā
たとえ我に咎なくとも、汝が我を呪ったゆえ、ああ最も卑しき遊女よ、されば汝もまた—たちまち—老いにより身の衰えた者となれ。

It reinforces moral causality: unjust harm rebounds, and retaliatory curses multiply suffering for both sides.
No tīrtha is named in this verse; it is part of the chapter’s narrative arc.
