संपृच्छे जननि त्वाहं सम्यक्शंस ममाग्रतः । भार्यात्वेपि च सामान्ये कथं सा सुरुचिः प्रिया
saṃpṛcche janani tvāhaṃ samyakśaṃsa mamāgrataḥ | bhāryātvepi ca sāmānye kathaṃ sā suruciḥ priyā
அம்மா, நான் உன்னிடம் கேட்கிறேன்—என் முன்னே தெளிவாகச் சொல். இருவரும் சமமான மனைவியராயிருந்தும், அந்த சுருசி அரசனுக்கு எவ்வாறு இவ்வளவு பிரியமானாள்?
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.
None.
