Adhyaya 58 — The Kurma-Form of Narayana: Mapping Bharata through Nakshatras, Regions, and Planetary Afflictions

ग्रहैर्भवति पीडोत्थमल्पायासमशोभनम् ॥
svarkṣairaśobhanairjantoḥ sāmānyamiti bhītidam / grahairbhavati pīḍotthamalpāyāsamaśobhanam

It distinguishes vague anxiety (general fear) from concrete hardship (pīḍā), implying that wise persons should diagnose the kind of suffering before prescribing remedies.
An applied-dharma adjunct: it guides human response to time and fate within the broader Purāṇic worldview, not a direct pancalakṣaṇa core.
Nakṣatra effects are presented as background temperament (sāmānya), while graha afflictions manifest as sharper karmic pressure—subtle vs gross layers of causality.
