mahāpātakasaṃghātamadhikaṃ copapātakam | śivadravyāpaharaṇādanyatsarvaṃ nivārayet
សូម្បីតែគំនរអំពើបាបធំៗ និងអំពើបាបរងៗក៏អាចបំបាត់បាន—លើកលែងតែការលួចយកទ្រព្យសម្បត្តិរបស់ព្រះសិវៈប៉ុណ្ណោះ។
Narratorial voice within Brahmottarakhaṇḍa (speaker not explicit in the snippet)
Scene: A didactic scene: a teacher-sage instructs a listener near a Śiva shrine; in the background, temple vessels and offerings are shown as sacred, with a warning gesture against taking them.
Devotion purifies, but dharma also demands strict integrity—misappropriating sacred property is treated as uniquely destructive.
No single tīrtha is mentioned; the verse concerns the sanctity of Śiva’s offerings and temple resources.
An ethical injunction: avoid śiva-dravya-apaharaṇa (theft of Śiva’s property), presented as an exception to general expiation.
