सा च त्वामुदये दृष्ट्वा साभिलाषा रजस्वला । चिंताभिपन्ना तिष्ठंती भजितव्या विभावसो
sā ca tvāmudaye dṛṣṭvā sābhilāṣā rajasvalā | ciṃtābhipannā tiṣṭhaṃtī bhajitavyā vibhāvaso
และนางนั้น—ครั้นเห็นท่านยามอรุณรุ่ง—เต็มด้วยความปรารถนา อยู่ในระดูโลหิตสตรี ยืนอยู่ ณ ที่นั้นด้วยใจร้อนรนกังวล. โอ วิภาวสุ (อัคนี)! นางควรถูกรับไว้เป็นคู่ครอง.
Unspecified from the single-verse excerpt (context needed from surrounding verses).
Concept: Desire and ritual/dharmic boundaries collide at liminal times; the narrative signals the need for discernment (viveka) when powerful forces (kāma, mantra, deva-contact) arise.
Application: When emotionally charged, pause at ‘sunrise moments’ (beginnings) and choose actions that do not violate your values; anxiety often signals misalignment between impulse and dharma.

FAQs
Vibhāvasu is a common epithet of Agni (Fire), addressed here directly in the vocative case (“O Vibhāvasu”).
Not explicitly; the verse is primarily narrative and relational, addressing Agni and describing a woman’s emotional state. Any devotional framing would depend on the surrounding passage.
The term signals a traditional concern with ritual status and social norms in classical texts; however, the specific ethical point cannot be concluded securely without the preceding and following verses that establish the situation and intent.
