अहमस्यान्यदेहत्वे पुत्र आसं सुसंमतः । पशुपालनकर्मज्ञः प्राणेभ्यो वल्लभः सदा
ahamasyānyadehatve putra āsaṃ susaṃmataḥ | paśupālanakarmajñaḥ prāṇebhyo vallabhaḥ sadā
ତାଙ୍କର ପୂର୍ବଦେହରେ ମୁଁ ତାଙ୍କର ପୁତ୍ର ଥିଲି—ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ପ୍ରିୟ ଓ ସମ୍ମାନିତ। ପଶୁପାଳନ କର୍ମରେ ନିପୁଣ ଥିଲି ଏବଂ ସଦା ତାଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରାଣସମ ପ୍ରିୟ ଥିଲି।

Karmic relationships endure beyond one lifetime; remembering benefactors inspires gratitude expressed through service and rites.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it supports the broader Māhātmya’s ethical teaching.
Not directly; it provides the reason behind performing pretakārya and honoring the departed.
