दुर्भिक्षकाळी जलकर्म, गोपालन, शकट-व्यवहार, क्रीडा/सेवा, याचना, व्याजाने धन देणे व वाणिज्य—हे उपजीविकेचे उपाय मानले आहेत. तसेच दलदली प्रदेशात राहणे, पर्वतावर निवास करणे किंवा राजाश्रय घेणेही टंचाईत जीवनरक्षणाचे मार्ग सांगितले आहेत.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A famine-stricken landscape near the Prabhāsa coast: people drawing water, herding cattle, carts moving grain, merchants weighing goods, and a distant hill/fort of a king offering refuge; the mood is austere and instructional.
Dharma recognizes calamity: survival options expand during famine, while still framing them as regulated, time-bound necessities.
The teaching is situated in Prabhāsa-kṣetra’s māhātmya narrative; it supports dharmic living even amid regional hardship.
No specific rite; it lists āpaddharma livelihoods permitted/remembered during durbhikṣa (famine).
