Adhyaya 76 — The Sixth Manvantara: Cakshusha Manu, the Child-Snatcher, and the Problem of Kinship
स्वार्थो मया परित्यक्तो यस्त्वत्तो मे भविष्यति ।
इत्युक्त्वा सा तमुत्सृज्य निष्क्रान्ता सूतिकागृहात् ॥
svārtho mayā parityakto yastvatto me bhaviṣyati / ityuktvā sā tamutsṛjya niṣkrāntā sūtikāgṛhāt
"ผลประโยชน์ส่วนตัวใดๆ ที่ข้าอาจได้รับจากเจ้า ข้าได้สละมันแล้ว" เมื่อกล่าวเช่นนี้ นางก็ปล่อยเขาและเดินออกจากห้องคลอดไป

The narrative contrasts proclaimed detachment with the real-world consequences of leaving the vulnerable unguarded. Dharma includes protection (rakṣaṇa) alongside affection and renunciation.
Ākhyāna: a moral tale illustrating consequences; ancillary to broader purāṇic aims rather than a direct pancalakṣaṇa unit.
The ‘sūtikāgṛha’ (birth-chamber) can symbolize the liminal state where new life/new resolve is fragile. Leaving that threshold unattended invites ‘jātahāriṇī’—the force that steals nascent vitality.
