Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 27
अत्याहितं तदस्तीह तदागोद्वयदर्शनात् । पितुः कोपोपि सुश्लाघ्यो मयि नो ब्राह्मणस्य तु
atyāhitaṃ tadastīha tadāgodvayadarśanāt | pituḥ kopopi suślāghyo mayi no brāhmaṇasya tu
येथे मोठे अनिष्ट आहे—त्या चिन्हावरून, त्या दोन गायींच्या दर्शनावरून, मला ते कळले आहे. पित्याचा कोपही सहन होईल; पण माझ्यावर ब्राह्मणाचा कोप सहन होत नाही.
Sāmba (Jāmbavatī-suta), deduced from narrative context
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Sāmba, alarmed by an ominous sign—the sight of a pair of cows—reflects that even paternal anger is tolerable, but not a brāhmaṇa’s wrath; the moment is inward, tense, and moralizing.
