चण्डाली बंधकी वेश्या रजःस्था या च कन्यका । कुटिला च स्वगोत्रा च वृषल्यः सप्त कीर्तिताः
caṇḍālī baṃdhakī veśyā rajaḥsthā yā ca kanyakā | kuṭilā ca svagotrā ca vṛṣalyaḥ sapta kīrtitāḥ
Declaram-se sete tipos de vṛṣalī: a caṇḍālī, a baṃdhakī, a cortesã, a donzela em menstruação, a mulher enganosa e a mulher do mesmo gotra—assim se proclamam sete.
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya narrative style)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Scene: A didactic assembly of sages in Prabhāsa, reciting dharma classifications; palm-leaf manuscripts, ritual vessels, and a distant glimpse of Somnātha’s sacred coast.
Ritual life is safeguarded by clear dharma boundaries; transgressions in sexuality, lineage rules, and purity codes are treated as spiritually obstructive.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the sacred setting; the Māhātmya teaches how to preserve the fruit of rites performed in such a tīrtha.
A practical implication for Śrāddha/pāṅkti: avoid including or associating with categories deemed ritually disqualifying by the text.
