Adhyaya 75 — The Fall and Restoration of Revatī Nakṣatra and the Birth of Raivata Manu
मया चास्मै प्रतिज्ञाता भार्येति मदिरेक्षणा ।
न चेच्छसि विवाहं त्वं सङ्कटं नः समागतम् ॥
mayā cāsmai pratijñātā bhāryeti madirekṣaṇā / na cecchasi vivāhaṃ tvaṃ saṅkaṭaṃ naḥ samāgatam

FAQs

Narrative dharma (vaṃśānucarita/ākhyāna): illustrates the karmic-social weight of promises rather than cosmological taxonomy.
Pratijñā functions like a subtle ‘bond’ (bandhana). Once declared, it shapes outcomes; refusing it generates friction in the unseen moral field, represented here as an arriving crisis.
