यस्माद्गतानि चेतांसि मां मुक्त्वाऽन्यत्र वः स्त्रियः । तस्मात्पतिकृतांल्लोकानायुषोंऽते न यास्यथ

«Porque vossas mentes, ó mulheres, voltaram-se para outro lugar, abandonando-Me; por isso, ao fim da vida não alcançareis os mundos obtidos pela devoção ao esposo».

Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Hari pronounces a stern curse: the women, minds turned elsewhere, will not reach the worlds earned by devotion to one’s husband; the scene holds a heavy silence—women bowed, Hari unwavering.
