अवशिष्टास्तु षड्विंशन्मलिना विगतश्रियः । पाणिग्रहणमारभ्य रोहिण्या सह चंद्रमाः
avaśiṣṭāstu ṣaḍviṃśanmalinā vigataśriyaḥ | pāṇigrahaṇamārabhya rohiṇyā saha caṃdramāḥ
కానీ మిగిలిన ఇరవై ఆరు మలినమై కాంతిని కోల్పోయారు; పాణిగ్రహణం మొదలైన నాటి నుంచే చంద్రుడు రోహిణితో మాత్రమే ఉన్నాడు.
Narrator (within Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya context)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A celestial tableau: twenty-six Nakṣatra-brides appear dim and tarnished, their ornaments dulled; Soma shines beside Rohiṇī alone, highlighting imbalance; the sky-wheel of stars forms a mandala around them.
In relationships and duties, sustained inequity diminishes harmony and ‘splendor’—a puranic warning against adharma in household conduct.
Prabhāsa is the overarching tīrtha-context; the māhātmya uses this cosmic-family episode to amplify the sacred setting.
No ritual is prescribed; the verse highlights the ethical dimension of marriage (pāṇigrahaṇa) and ensuing imbalance.
