श्रान्तं बुभुक्षितं विप्रं यो विघ्नयति दुर्मतिः । कृमिभिर्भक्ष्यते तत्र यावत्कल्पशतत्रयम्
śrāntaṃ bubhukṣitaṃ vipraṃ yo vighnayati durmatiḥ | kṛmibhirbhakṣyate tatra yāvatkalpaśatatrayam
श्रान्तं बुभुक्षितं विप्रं यो दुर्मतिः विघ्नयति, स तत्र कृमिभिर्भक्ष्यते यावत्कल्पशतत्रयम्।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Tirtha: Revā-kṣetra (general)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A hungry, exhausted brāhmaṇa traveler is blocked at a doorway/roadside; the obstructer is later shown in a grim underworld being consumed by worms, emphasizing karmic reversal.
Hindering the weary and hungry—especially a learned brāhmaṇa/guest—violates dharma and invites long-lasting karmic suffering.
Revā-māhātmya context; the tīrtha narrative reinforces service and compassion as prerequisites for spiritual benefit.
Implicit atithi-sevā: do not obstruct; instead support and feed the hungry traveler/guest.
