Adhyaya 75 — The Fall and Restoration of Revatī Nakṣatra and the Birth of Raivata Manu
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
ततः स चिन्तयामास राजा जामातृकारणम् ।
विवेद च न तन्मौनी जगृहेऽर्घञ्च तं नृपः ॥
mārkaṇḍeya uvāca
tataḥ sa cintayāmāsa rājā jāmātṛkāraṇam /
viveda ca na tanmaunī jagṛhe 'rghañ ca taṃ nṛpaḥ //
മാർക്കണ്ഡേയൻ പറഞ്ഞു—അപ്പോൾ രാജാവ് മരുമകനുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട കാര്യം മനസ്സിൽ ആലോചിച്ചു. മൗനമുനി അത് സ്വീകരിക്കുന്നില്ലെന്ന് കണ്ടറിഞ്ഞ്, രാജാവ് ആ സത്കാരാർഘ്യം തിരികെ എടുത്തു.

Even a king must read the situation with humility: when an ascetic refuses formal honor, the proper response is restraint rather than insistence. The verse foregrounds dharmic sensitivity in social/ritual etiquette.
This passage is primarily Ākhyāna (narrative instruction) rather than a core pañcalakṣaṇa unit. It serves as dharma-upadeśa embedded in story, not sarga/pratisarga/manvantara/vaṃśa/vaṃśānucarita proper.
The maunī’s non-acceptance hints that true spiritual authority may not be engaged by external formalities; inner intention and karmic context (the ‘cause’) drive the encounter, not ritual display.
