Adhyaya 64 — Creation Narrative
न दत्ताहं तदा तेन याचितेन महात्मना । देवारिणालिना सुप्तस्ततो मे घातितः पिता ॥
na dattāhaṃ tadā tena yācitena mahātmanā | devāriṇālinā suptas tato me ghātitaḥ pitā ||
เมื่อมีผู้ไปขอข้าพเจ้าจากท่านผู้สูงศักดิ์นั้น เขามิได้ยกให้; แล้วเดวาริณาลีก็สังหารบิดาของข้าพเจ้าในยามที่ท่านหลับอยู่

The verse condemns coercive acquisition and treachery: killing a protector in sleep is a paradigmatic act of adharma, showing how lust for possession collapses moral order.
Vamśānucarita: pivotal event (guardian’s death) that redirects the heroine’s fate and motivates subsequent divine intervention.
Sleep here symbolizes unguarded consciousness; adharma attacks when vigilance is absent. The protector’s fall marks the soul’s experience of ‘loss of shelter,’ preparing for a higher refuge.
