Adhyaya 63 — The Birth of Svarocis and the Rescue of Manoramā: The Astra-Heart and the Healing of Curses
नष्टस्मृतिर्यदा क्रुद्धः स्वमपत्यञ्चिखादिषुः ।
निशाचरत्बं गन्तासि तदस्त्रानलतापितः ॥
naṣṭa-smṛtir yadā kruddhaḥ svam apatyam cikhādiṣuḥ | niśācaratvaṃ gantāsi tad-astrānala-tāpitaḥ ||
जेव्हा स्मृती हरपून तू क्रोधाने उन्मत्त होऊन आपल्या संततीला भक्षण करण्यास उद्यत होशील, तेव्हा शस्त्रांच्या अग्निने दग्ध होऊन तू निशाचरभावात प्रवेश करशील.

Anger coupled with delusion (loss of discernment/memory) drives one toward the gravest violations of dharma (violence against one’s own), and such inner collapse is portrayed as producing an outer ‘demonic’ condition.
Not a pancalakṣaṇa passage; it is didactic narrative illustrating karma and the psychology of adharma.
‘Weapon-fire’ can be read as the heat of consequences generated by one’s own actions; the niśācara-state represents consciousness dominated by tamas where natural bonds (like parent/child) are forgotten.
