कोटिद्वयं ब्रह्मकल्पं कुंभीपाकी न संशयः । एककालं चरेद्भैक्षं न कुर्यात्तत्र विस्तरम्
koṭidvayaṃ brahmakalpaṃ kuṃbhīpākī na saṃśayaḥ | ekakālaṃ caredbhaikṣaṃ na kuryāttatra vistaram
दोन कोटी ब्रह्मकल्पांपर्यंत तो कुम्भीपाक नरकात यातना भोगतो—यात संशय नाही. म्हणून त्याने दिवसातून एकदाच भिक्षा घ्यावी आणि त्यात विस्तार/आडंबर करू नये.
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A bhikṣu receives a small portion of food once a day, standing quietly at a threshold after the household meal; in the background, a faint vision of Kumbhīpāka—boiling cauldron imagery—appears as a moral warning, contrasted with the calm Gaṅgā horizon.
Indulgence in alms and comforts undermines renunciation and is warned against with severe karmic consequences.
Within Kāśī Khaṇḍa, Kāśī is presented as a place where strict bhikṣu discipline is upheld.
Take bhikṣā once daily and avoid ‘expanding’ it into elaborate or comfort-seeking arrangements.
