श्रान्ता भारपरिक्लिष्टा वहती कोपनं द्विजम् । पाययित्वोदकं कान्त नय मां मन्दिरं स्वकम्
śrāntā bhāraparikliṣṭā vahatī kopanaṃ dvijam | pāyayitvodakaṃ kānta naya māṃ mandiraṃ svakam
ನಾನು ಶ್ರಾಂತಳಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ, ಭಾರದಿಂದ ಕಲುಷಿತಳಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ; ಈ ಕೋಪಿಷ್ಠ ದ್ವಿಜನನ್ನು ಹೊರುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಪ್ರಿಯನೇ, ಅವನಿಗೆ ನೀರು ಕುಡಿಸಿ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನನ್ನ ಮಂದಿರಕ್ಕೆ ಕರೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗು.
Rukmiṇī
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Rukmiṇī, strained from bearing the burden of an irritable brāhmaṇa, appeals to Kṛṣṇa: first give the brāhmaṇa water, then take her home; the scene balances duty and tenderness.
Hospitality is dharma even when the guest is difficult; service purifies and protects.
Dvārakā, as the sacred setting where ideals of atithi-dharma are enacted by divine figures.
Offering drinking water to a brāhmaṇa/guest (atithi) is explicitly advised.
