अन्ये न दीयमाने स्वे निषेद्धुःपापकारिणः । आच्छेत्तुः परवृत्तीनां जिह्वां छिंध्यस्य दुर्मुख
anye na dīyamāne sve niṣeddhuḥpāpakāriṇaḥ | ācchettuḥ paravṛttīnāṃ jihvāṃ chiṃdhyasya durmukha
ஓ கோரமுகனே! பிறர் தர்மம் செய்வதைத் தடுக்கும் பாவியின் நாவையும், பிறர் வாழ்வாதாரத்தைக் கெடுப்பவனின் நாவையும் அறுத்து எறிவாயாக.
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa; addressing a naraka-agent/attendant in the narrative style)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A foul-faced executioner cuts out the sinner’s tongue—punishment for forbidding others’ giving and for cutting off livelihoods; the tongue symbolizes coercive speech and obstruction.
Blocking charitable giving and sabotaging others’ sustenance violates dharma and is portrayed as a grave moral offense.
Kāśī is the broader sacred context; this verse itself stresses dharma around dāna and livelihood.
Indirectly, it upholds dāna (charitable giving) by condemning those who prevent it.
