Adhyaya 75 — The Fall and Restoration of Revatī Nakṣatra and the Birth of Raivata Manu
ऋषिरुवाच
प्रियेतिसाम्प्रतं येयं त्वयोक्ता वरवर्णिनी ।
किं विस्मृतन्ते भूपाल श्लाघ्येयं गृहिणी तव ॥
ṛṣir uvāca
priyeti sāmprataṃ yeyaṃ tvayoktā varavarṇinī /
kiṃ vismṛtante bhūpāla ślāghyeyaṃ gṛhiṇī tava //

Didactic narrative; not pañcalakṣaṇa.
‘Smṛti’ (memory) is a spiritual faculty; its distortion indicates inner veiling. The sage’s reminder functions like a guru’s intervention to restore right-seeing.
