गोघ्नस्तु निक्षेपहरो ग्रामसीमाहरस्तु यः । सर्वे ते नरकं यांति या च स्त्री पतिवंचका
goghnastu nikṣepaharo grāmasīmāharastu yaḥ | sarve te narakaṃ yāṃti yā ca strī pativaṃcakā
O matador de vaca, o ladrão do bem confiado e aquele que usurpa a terra dos limites da aldeia—todos esses vão ao inferno; e do mesmo modo a mulher que engana o marido.
Deductive: Purāṇic narrator within the Vastrāpathakṣetra Māhātmya (Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa)
Scene: A village-edge scene: a cow protected by righteous villagers; a boundary-stone (sīmā) stands firm; a deposit chest symbolizes trust; a household scene contrasts fidelity with deception; a dark naraka-cloud looms as warning.
It stresses trust, social order (land boundaries), and fidelity as dharmic pillars; their violation is linked to naraka.
The teaching occurs in the Vastrāpathakṣetra Māhātmya of Prabhāsa Kṣetra, using dharma to frame the sanctity of place.
None is specified; the verse functions as condemnation of specific transgressions.
