मित्रावसानिनः पापाः प्रायो नरकमंडनाः । परार्थनष्टास्तदमी पंच संप्रति साधवः
mitrāvasāninaḥ pāpāḥ prāyo narakamaṃḍanāḥ | parārthanaṣṭāstadamī paṃca saṃprati sādhavaḥ
ମିତ୍ରତାକୁ ଭଙ୍ଗ କରୁଥିବା ପାପୀମାନେ ପ୍ରାୟ ନରକର ଭୂଷଣ ହୁଅନ୍ତି। କିନ୍ତୁ ପରହିତ ପାଇଁ ନିଜକୁ ବିପଦରେ ରଖିଥିବା ଏହି ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ଏବେ ସତ୍ୟ ସାଧୁ।
Indradyumna (contextual continuation)
Scene: Two contrasted tableaux: on one side, a figure cuts a friendship-garland, with flames and a dark gateway labeled ‘naraka’; on the other, five companions form a protective circle around a vulnerable traveler, offering their own shields.
Betraying friends is treated as grave adharma, while self-sacrifice for others is praised as the hallmark of the sādhus.
No tīrtha is specified; the verse frames moral geography—hell for betrayal, righteousness for selfless service.
No ritual is prescribed; the practical instruction is to preserve friendship and act for parārtha (others’ welfare).
