Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 51

Devanagari script

उद्दिश्य कुपितो हत्वा तोषितं वासयेत्पुनः । तस्मिन्मृते न दोषोऽस्ति द्वयोरुच्छ्रावणे कृते

Transliteration

uddiśya kupito hatvā toṣitaṃ vāsayetpunaḥ | tasminmṛte na doṣo'sti dvayorucchrāvaṇe kṛte

Translation

Se alguém, tomado de ira e com intenção determinada, fere (ou até mata) uma pessoa, deve depois restaurar e reassentar o ofendido, já apaziguado. E se essa pessoa vier a morrer, não há culpa—desde que a proclamação formal a ambas as partes tenha sido feita.

Tirtha Mahatmya

Visual Art Cues

Scene: A tense confrontation dissolves into reconciliation: an aggressor, formerly enraged, now offers water, cloth, and respectful gestures to the injured party; elders/priestly witnesses stand between them, reciting a formal proclamation; the sacred coastal kṣetra frames the moral repair.

FAQs

Anger-driven harm still demands dharmic rectification; proper restitution and due procedure are emphasized as safeguards against further blame.

The broader passage belongs to Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya, setting the stage for the purifying power of Prabhāsa and Sarasvatī.

A formal ‘ucchrāvaṇa’ (public declaration/announcement) and the act of restoring/settling the wronged party are prescribed as part of dharmic remediation.
