त्यज मूलमनर्थस्य लोभमेनं द्विजोत्तम । इत्युक्त्वा स्वर्ययौ राजा स्वर्गकन्यासमावृतः
tyaja mūlamanarthasya lobhamenaṃ dvijottama | ityuktvā svaryayau rājā svargakanyāsamāvṛtaḥ
ହେ ଦ୍ୱିଜୋତ୍ତମ, ଏହି ଲୋଭକୁ ତ୍ୟାଗ କର— ଏହା ଅନର୍ଥର ମୂଳ। ଏମିତି କହି ରାଜା ସ୍ୱର୍ଗକୁ ଗଲେ, ସ୍ୱର୍ଗକନ୍ୟାମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ପରିବୃତ ହୋଇ।
King Śatabāhu (quoted within Mārkaṇḍeya’s narration)
Tirtha: Hanūmanteśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: The brāhmaṇa (addressed as 'dvijottama')
Scene: Śatabāhu, calm and resolute, instructs the brāhmaṇa to abandon greed; immediately after, the king rises skyward in a radiant vimāna-like ascent, surrounded by apsarases, while the shrine and riverbank glow below.
Greed (lobha) is portrayed as the root of downfall; renouncing it safeguards both worldly and spiritual welfare.
Indirectly, the Revā tīrtha setting is upheld as a place where moral instruction and purification narratives unfold.
No ritual here; it is an ethical injunction (lobha-tyāga) embedded in the tīrtha narrative.
