निर्दोषोऽपि त्वया यस्माच्छप्तोऽहं गणिकाधमे । तस्माद्भव त्वमप्याशु जराजर्जरितांगिका
nirdoṣo'pi tvayā yasmācchapto'haṃ gaṇikādhame | tasmādbhava tvamapyāśu jarājarjaritāṃgikā
Embora eu seja sem culpa, já que me amaldiçoaste, ó a mais vil das cortesãs, por isso tu também—depressa—torna-te aquela cujo corpo é consumido pela velhice.

It reinforces moral causality: unjust harm rebounds, and retaliatory curses multiply suffering for both sides.
No tīrtha is named in this verse; it is part of the chapter’s narrative arc.
