किमिदं विहितं पाप पापं साधुविगर्हितम् । चौर्यकर्म त्वया निंद्यं यद्धृतानि फलानि च
kimidaṃ vihitaṃ pāpa pāpaṃ sādhuvigarhitam | cauryakarma tvayā niṃdyaṃ yaddhṛtāni phalāni ca
‘ಓ ಪಾಪಿಯೇ! ನೀನು ಇದು ಏನು ಮಾಡಿದಿ? ಇದು ಸಜ್ಜನರು ಗರ್ಹಿಸುವ ಪಾಪಕರ್ಮ. ನೀನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡ ಹಣ್ಣುಗಳು ಕಳ್ಳತನ; ಅದು ನಿಂದನೀಯ.’
Likhita
Tirtha: Likhitāśrama (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: nṛpa (king)
Scene: Likhita, stern yet controlled, points out the fault; Śaṅkha stands with lowered gaze, fruit in hand, the atmosphere charged with dharmic admonition.
Even small misappropriation is treated seriously in dharma; the “good” (sādhus) define ethical boundaries by restraint.
No site is named in this verse; it is a dharma-incident within a tīrtha-māhātmya chapter.
None directly; it condemns theft as adharma.
