The Account of King Yayāti: Kāmasaras, Rati’s Tears, and the Birth of Aśrubindumatī
within the Mātā–Pitṛ Tīrtha Narrative
तव संगमने चेतो भावमेवं प्रवांछते । देहि मे संगमं भद्रे कुरु सुप्रियमेव हि
tava saṃgamane ceto bhāvamevaṃ pravāṃchate | dehi me saṃgamaṃ bhadre kuru supriyameva hi
ดวงใจของเราปรารถนาการได้ร่วมสมาคมกับเจ้าเช่นนี้ โอ้ผู้เจริญ จงประทานการร่วมสมาคมนั้นแก่เรา และจงกระทำสิ่งที่เป็นที่พอพระทัยยิ่ง
Unspecified (a male speaker addressing a woman as 'bhadre')
Concept: Unregulated desire seeks immediate gratification; Purāṇic narrative typically uses such speech to foreshadow consequence and the need for restraint or redirection into dharmic love.
Application: Notice craving as it arises; pause before acting, and choose commitments that do not harm self/others.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: भावमेवं = भावम् + एवम्.
'Bhadre' is a respectful address meaning “O auspicious/gentle lady.” The specific identity is not explicit in the provided single-verse context.
In this verse, the surrounding terms (ceto, bhāva, pravāñchate, supriyam) strongly indicate personal meeting/union rather than a geographical confluence.
It portrays intense longing and supplication—an emotional register that, when applied in devotional contexts, resembles earnest prayer; in interpersonal contexts, it highlights desire expressed as a request rather than coercion.
