Sukalā’s Account: Ikṣvāku and Sudevā; the Boar’s Resolve and the Dharma of Battle
पुत्रान्पौत्रांस्तु वाराहि कन्यां कुटुंबबालकम् । गिरिं गच्छ गृहीत्वा तु मम मोहमिमं त्यज
putrānpautrāṃstu vārāhi kanyāṃ kuṭuṃbabālakam | giriṃ gaccha gṛhītvā tu mama mohamimaṃ tyaja
โอ้ วาราหี จงพาบุตรและหลาน ธิดา และเด็กๆ ในเรือนของเจ้าไปยังภูเขาเถิด แล้วจงสลัดความหลงนี้ของเราเสีย
Unspecified (context-dependent; the verse addresses Vārāhī directly)
Concept: Attachment (moha) must be relinquished even toward family when the moment of spiritual truth arrives; compassion expresses itself by protecting dependents while freeing oneself for dharma.
Application: When making a major ethical/spiritual decision, care for dependents responsibly, then act without clinging; distinguish love from moha by choosing what leads to long-term welfare and integrity.

FAQs
Vārāhī is a divine feminine figure associated with the boar (Varāha) form; here she is directly addressed and instructed, indicating a narrative scene involving her agency and movement.
The verse highlights the danger of moha—attachment or भ्रम (delusive fixation)—and urges a decisive turning away from it, implying clarity of judgment and disciplined detachment.
The mountain (giri) functions as a setting for withdrawal, protection, or transition in Purāṇic narratives; the instruction suggests relocating dependents while also emphasizing an inner renunciation of delusion.
