कामक्रोधेन ये बद्धा लोभेन च वशीकृताः । अज्ञानतिमिराक्रांता मायातत्त्वे च संस्थिताः
kāmakrodhena ye baddhā lobhena ca vaśīkṛtāḥ | ajñānatimirākrāṃtā māyātattve ca saṃsthitāḥ
欲と怒りに縛られ、貪りに制せられ、無明の闇に覆われ、マーヤーの原理に住する者たちは——
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: An allegorical scene: a human figure bound by serpentine cords labeled kāma, krodha, lobha; a dark veil of avidyā; behind it, the shimmering outline of Prabhāsa/Śiva-linga as the liberating light that will be revealed in subsequent verses.
It diagnoses the classic bonds—desire, anger, greed, and ignorance—framing them as māyā-based entanglements that the tīrtha’s grace will soon be shown to overcome.
The surrounding passage belongs to Prabhāsa-kṣetra māhātmya, preparing to state how even the bound may attain the highest end there.
None in this half-verse; it is doctrinal/diagnostic rather than prescriptive.
