मम मंत्रिवरा यूयं विलंबं त्यजताधुना । इत्युक्ता मंत्रिणः काष्ठं समानिन्युः क्षणेन ते
mama maṃtrivarā yūyaṃ vilaṃbaṃ tyajatādhunā | ityuktā maṃtriṇaḥ kāṣṭhaṃ samāninyuḥ kṣaṇena te
మీరు నా ఉత్తమ మంత్రులు—ఇప్పుడే ఆలస్యం విడిచిపెట్టండి. అలా చెప్పబడగానే ఆ మంత్రులు క్షణంలో కట్టెలు తెచ్చారు.
Narrator (quoting Śaṅkara, then describing ministers’ action)
Tirtha: Setukṣetra (Setubandha)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Ministers, addressed as the king’s best, immediately mobilize—carrying wood swiftly to prepare the blazing fire for the king’s intended act.
Loyal service responds swiftly to authority; Purāṇic narratives also highlight how haste can intensify karmic turning-points.
Setu-kṣetra (Setukhaṇḍa) remains the setting, though no explicit tīrtha praise appears in this verse.
Only the practical act of gathering wood for a fire is mentioned.
