संपरित्यज्य ताः सर्वाः कामोपहतमानसः । अथ भूयस्तु ताः सर्वा दक्षं वचनमब्रुवन्
saṃparityajya tāḥ sarvāḥ kāmopahatamānasaḥ | atha bhūyastu tāḥ sarvā dakṣaṃ vacanamabruvan
他は他の者すべてを捨て、欲望に心を打たれて背を向けた。すると彼女らは皆、再びダクシャに言葉を述べた。
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narration)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: Soma, desire-struck, turns away from the other wives; the neglected maidens gather, distressed yet resolute, approaching Dakṣa to speak—an appeal for justice.
Kāma that overpowers the mind leads to neglect of duty and harms relationships, inviting dhārmic correction.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the narrative frame; the Māhātmya situates even celestial events within the sanctity of Prabhāsa.
No explicit rite is prescribed in this verse.
