Adhyaya 63 — The Birth of Svarocis and the Rescue of Manoramā: The Astra-Heart and the Healing of Curses
ततस्तयोः स तत्त्वज्ञो रोगघ्नैरौषधै रसैः ।
चकार नीरुजौ देहौ स्वरोचिरपराजितः ॥
tatas tayoḥ sa tattvajño rogaghnair auṣadhai rasaiḥ / cakāra nīrujau dehau svarocir aparājitaḥ
ତେବେ ତତ୍ତ୍ୱଜ୍ଞ, ଅଜେୟ ସ୍ୱାରୋଚିଷ ରୋଗନାଶକ ଔଷଧି ଓ ଭେଷଜସାର ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଉଭୟଙ୍କ ଦେହକୁ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ନିରୋଗ କଲେ।
Knowledge is validated by its capacity to remove suffering. The text honors practical wisdom (tattvajñāna expressed as healing skill) as a dharmic good.
Manvantara narrative: while not a cosmological passage, it exemplifies how Purāṇas use Manu-era stories to transmit applied sciences and ethics.
Herbs and rasas indicate ‘earthly’ means; the teaching is that even curse-linked affliction can be mitigated through aligned knowledge—suggesting karma is not fatalism but a field where remedies operate.
