संपृच्छे जननि त्वाहं सम्यक्शंस ममाग्रतः । भार्यात्वेपि च सामान्ये कथं सा सुरुचिः प्रिया
saṃpṛcche janani tvāhaṃ samyakśaṃsa mamāgrataḥ | bhāryātvepi ca sāmānye kathaṃ sā suruciḥ priyā
«Мать, я спрашиваю тебя — скажи мне прямо, здесь передо мной. Если обе вы равны как жёны, почему же Суручи — любимая (царя)?»
Dhruva
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sages in the Naimiṣa setting (typical)
Scene: Dhruva stands before Sunīti, palms slightly raised in questioning; Sunīti’s face shows pain and compassion; the name ‘Suruci’ hangs in the air as a symbol of courtly favoritism.
Partiality in relationships creates inner turmoil; dharma seeks truth through honest questioning.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
