मर्मांतिकं महादोषं ब्रह्मघ्नः स प्रकीर्तितः । ब्राह्मणं यः समाहूय याचमानमकिंचनम्
marmāṃtikaṃ mahādoṣaṃ brahmaghnaḥ sa prakīrtitaḥ | brāhmaṇaṃ yaḥ samāhūya yācamānamakiṃcanam
ಮರ್ಮವನ್ನು ಚುಚ್ಚುವ ಮಹಾದೋಷವನ್ನು ಮಾಡುವವನು ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಘ್ನನೆಂದು ಪ್ರಖ್ಯಾತನಾಗುತ್ತಾನೆ—ಭಿಕ್ಷೆ ಯಾಚಿಸುವ ದರಿದ್ರ ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣನನ್ನು ಕರೆಯಿಸಿ (ಅವಮಾನಿಸುವವನು).
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context
Scene: A poor brāhmaṇa with begging bowl stands at a doorway; a householder gestures him inside with apparent welcome. The moral tension is shown by the householder’s conflicted face and the brāhmaṇa’s trusting posture.
To toy with a destitute brāhmaṇa’s hope—after calling him for aid—is condemned as a deeply wounding offense akin to brahmahatyā.
None is mentioned; the theme is dharma of charity and truthful conduct.
Implicitly, it upholds dāna (giving) and forbids deceitful refusal toward a petitioner.
