अयं दुष्टः पुनर्निन्दां करिष्यति शिवस्य हि । ब्राह्मणत्वादवध्यश्चैत्त्याज्योऽदृश्यश्च सर्वथा
ayaṃ duṣṭaḥ punarnindāṃ kariṣyati śivasya hi | brāhmaṇatvādavadhyaścaittyājyo'dṛśyaśca sarvathā
คนชั่วผู้นี้จักกลับมาหมิ่นพระศิวะอีก แต่เพราะเป็นพราหมณ์จึงไม่ควรถูกฆ่า ฉะนั้นพึงละทิ้งและกันให้อยู่ห่างทุกประการ ให้พ้นสายตาโดยสิ้นเชิง
Suta Goswami (narrating the Purana dialogue to the sages, conveying the decision of the devotees/elders in the episode)
Tattva Level: pasha
Shiva Form: Īśāna
Significance: Clarifies graded response: the nindaka is dangerous to spiritual welfare, yet social dharma (brāhmaṇa-avadhyatā) constrains violence; the Śaiva solution is total avoidance/exclusion to prevent spread of pāśa (impurity and wrong cognition).
FAQs
It teaches that Śiva-nindā (reviling Śiva) is a grave offense that must be firmly restrained, yet dharma also requires restraint from unlawful violence—so social and spiritual separation from the offender is prescribed.
Linga and Saguna-Śiva worship depend on reverence (śraddhā) and purity of speech; this verse highlights that contempt for Śiva undermines devotion, so the community protects the sanctity of worship by excluding persistent blasphemy.
The takeaway is to guard one’s speech and mind through steady japa of the Pañcākṣarī (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) and disciplined sādhana, avoiding aparādha and keeping company that supports bhakti.
