Adhyaya 61 — The Second Manvantara Begins: The Brahmin’s Swift Journey and Varuthini’s Temptation on Himavat
ब्राह्मण उवाच न भोगार्थाय विप्राणां शस्यते हि वरूथिनि ।
इह क्लेशाय विप्राणां चेष्टा प्रेत्याफलप्रदा ॥
brāhmaṇa uvāca na bhogārthāya viprāṇāṃ śasyate hi varūthini | iha kleśāya viprāṇāṃ ceṣṭā pretyā-phalapradā ||
ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ—ਹੇ ਵਰੂਥਿਨੀ, ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣਾਂ ਲਈ ਭੋਗ ਦੇ ਲਈ ਪ੍ਰਵਿਰਤੀ ਪ੍ਰਸ਼ੰਸਨੀਯ ਨਹੀਂ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਇੱਥੇ ਕਲੇਸ਼ ਲਈ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦਾ ਫਲ ਮੌਤ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਹੈ।

FAQs
A brāhmaṇa’s ideal is discipline: voluntary hardship (tapas, niyama) is accepted now for dharmic merit that matures beyond this life, rather than chasing immediate sensual reward.
Ācāra (normative conduct) framed as narrative instruction; ancillary to the Purāṇic core five marks rather than a direct example of them.
The polarity ‘kleśa now / fruit later’ encodes the yogic economy of transformation: heat of discipline refines saṃskāras and produces subtler ‘phala’ beyond gross pleasure.
