jugupsitāṃ śrutyanuktāṃ ca devīṃ patidruhāṃ sarvadā sevayitvā / tasyāḥ prasādātkuṣṭhabhagandarādyairbhuktvā duḥ khaṃ saṃyaminīṃ prayāhi
वेदांनी न सांगितलेल्या, जुगुप्सित देवीची सतत सेवा करून आणि पतीद्रोह करून, तिच्या ‘प्रसादा’मुळे कुष्ठ, भगंदर इत्यादी रोगांनी दुःख भोगावे लागते आणि शेवटी संयमिनी (यमपुरी)कडे जावे लागते।

FAQs
This verse links “śruty-anukta” (non-Vedic/unsanctioned) deity-service with harmful karmic outcomes, stressing that worship should align with dharma and Vedic injunctions rather than exploitative or transgressive cults.
It presents a sequence: unethical conduct (husband-betrayal and improper worship) leads to embodied suffering as severe disease, followed by onward movement to Saṃyaminī—Yama’s domain—where further judgment and consequences unfold.
Uphold fidelity and integrity in relationships, avoid harmful or coercive religious practices, and choose spiritual disciplines grounded in ethics (dharma), accountability, and compassion.
