यस्मात्त्वयेदृशं कर्म निर्दयं समनुष्ठितम् । कुष्ठव्याधिसमायुक्तस्तस्मात्सद्यो भविष्यसि
yasmāttvayedṛśaṃ karma nirdayaṃ samanuṣṭhitam | kuṣṭhavyādhisamāyuktastasmātsadyo bhaviṣyasi
நீ இத்தகைய இரக்கமற்ற செயலைச் செய்ததால், உடனே நீ குஷ்ட நோயால் பீடிக்கப்படுவாய்।
Mṛgī (the doe)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The doe pronounces a curse: the king, still holding the bow, is struck by dread as the words foretell immediate leprosy; the forest seems to darken, emphasizing karmic judgment.
Cruelty (nirdayatā) ripens quickly into suffering; adharma brings visible karmic फल (phala).
Not named here; the curse functions as the narrative trigger that typically leads to a tīrtha-based remedy later in the māhātmya.
None in this verse.
