Adhyaya 75 — The Fall and Restoration of Revatī Nakṣatra and the Birth of Raivata Manu
रेवत्यन्ते मुनिश्रेष्ठ जातोऽयं तनयस्तव ।
तेन दुःखाय ते दुष्टे काले यस्मादजायत ॥
revatyante muniśreṣṭha jāto 'yaṃ tanayas tava /
tena duḥkhāya te duṣṭe kāle yasmād ajāyata
Ó melhor dos sábios, este teu filho nasceu no fim de Revatī; por isso, tendo nascido em tempo infausto, tornou-se causa de tristeza para ti.

FAQs
Purāṇic ethics often integrates karma with ‘kāla’ (time): misfortune can manifest through inauspicious timing, yet the deeper implication remains that time is a vehicle through which prior karma ripens.
Not pancalakṣaṇa; it is a causal explanation within an ethical narrative, drawing on jyotiṣa notions of kāla.
‘Revatyanta’ and ‘duṣṭa-kāla’ symbolize liminality (an ‘end-point’), suggesting unstable thresholds where latent tendencies surface—time as the trigger for stored saṃskāras.
