धिग्जरांप्राणिनामत्र यया सर्वो विरज्यति । जरातुरेंद्रियग्रामे स्त्रियोपि नयतः स्वसात्
dhigjarāṃprāṇināmatra yayā sarvo virajyati | jarātureṃdriyagrāme striyopi nayataḥ svasāt
ପ୍ରାଣୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ସେହି ଜରାକୁ ଧିକ୍, ଯାହାରେ ସମସ୍ତେ ବିରକ୍ତ ହୋଇଯାନ୍ତି। ଜରାରେ ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରିୟଗ୍ରାମ କ୍ଷୀଣ ହେଲେ, ସ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସ୍ୱଭାବବଶେ ବଶରେ ରହନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।
Skanda (narrating; lament voiced in the episode’s reflection)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A poignant ghat-side scene: an aged householder/ascetic with trembling hands watches youthful life pass by; senses symbolized as fading lamps; the city of Kāśī stands indifferent yet compassionate.
Old age exposes the fragility of embodied life and becomes a catalyst for vairāgya and renewed spiritual urgency.
Not a direct site-glorification verse; it supports the Kāśī Vṛddhāditya narrative by explaining the seeker’s motive.
None explicitly; the verse is reflective, emphasizing sense-decline and the need for discipline.
