Nābhāga’s Inheritance, Śiva’s Verdict, and the Rise of Ambarīṣa—Prelude to Durvāsā’s Offense
अजानता ते परमानुभावं कृतं मयाघं भवत: प्रियाणाम् । विधेहि तस्यापचितिं विधात- र्मुच्येत यन्नाम्न्युदिते नारकोऽपि ॥ ६२ ॥
ajānatā te paramānubhāvaṁ kṛtaṁ mayāghaṁ bhavataḥ priyāṇām vidhehi tasyāpacitiṁ vidhātar mucyeta yan-nāmny udite nārako ’pi
ໂອ ພຣະອົງ, ໂອ ຜູ້ຄວບຄຸມສູງສຸດ! ເນື່ອງຈາກບໍ່ຮູ້ອຳນາດອັນຫາຂອບເຂດຂອງພຣະອົງ ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າໄດ້ລ່ວງເກີນຕໍ່ຜູ້ພັກດີອັນເປັນທີ່ຮັກຍິ່ງຂອງພຣະອົງ. ຂໍພຣະອົງເມດຕາຈັດໃຫ້ມີການໄຖ່ບາບ ແລະຊ່ວຍໃຫ້ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າພົ້ນຈາກຜົນຂອງຄວາມຜິດນັ້ນ. ພຣະອົງທຳໄດ້ທຸກຢ່າງ; ເພາະແມ່ນແຕ່ຜູ້ຄວນຕົກນະລົກ ກໍຍັງຖືກປົດປ່ອຍໄດ້ ເມື່ອພຣະນາມອັນບໍລິສຸດຂອງພຣະອົງຕື່ນຂຶ້ນໃນໃຈ
This verse shows that an offense against those dear to the Lord is a grave sin, and the offender must seek proper reparation, recognizing the Lord’s devotees as especially protected.
After offending Maharaja Ambarisha and being pursued by the Sudarshana Chakra, Durvasa approached Lord Vishnu for refuge and admitted his wrongdoing, asking how to atone for offending the Lord’s devotee.
Chant the Lord’s names sincerely while also correcting behavior—especially by respecting devotees and making amends when harm is done—since the holy name purifies but humility and restitution are essential.
