ब्राह्मणः स च वै याति नरकानेकविंशतिम् । अकालमेघस्तनिते वर्षर्तौ पांसुवर्षणे
brāhmaṇaḥ sa ca vai yāti narakānekaviṃśatim | akālameghastanite varṣartau pāṃsuvarṣaṇe
ఇలాంటి బ్రాహ్మణుడు నిశ్చయంగా ఇరవై ఒక నరకాలకు వెళ్తాడు; అలాగే అకాల మేఘగర్జన, వర్షాకాలంలో (అసహజ) గర్జన, మరియు ధూళివర్షం—ఇవి అశుభ లక్షణాలు.
Unknown (Dharmāraṇya Khaṇḍa instructional narration; speaker not explicit in snippet)
Scene: A split scene: a fallen brāhmaṇa figure surrounded by dark, descending paths labeled as many narakas; above, the sky shows out-of-season thunderclouds and a strange dust-rain, with anxious villagers and priests performing śānti rites.
Adharma brings severe karmic results, and unusual natural phenomena are treated as signals for heightened ritual caution.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse focuses on karmic consequence and omens.
It introduces ominous conditions (out-of-season thunder, dust-rain) that connect to anadhyāya-style restraints continued in the next verse.
