“ความเป็นกษัตริย์” และ “อายุยืนยาว”—นั่นคือประสบการณ์ของข้าพเจ้าเมื่อเป็นฆฤตกัมพละ แม้บัดนี้ข้าพเจ้ายังระลึกถึงชาติเหล่านั้นและผลของมันอยู่ ด้วยคำสาปของมุนีกาลวะ ข้าพเจ้าจึงเป็นนกกระเรียน โอ้ท่านผู้ประเสริฐ สิ่งที่ท่านถามมาทั้งหมด ข้าพเจ้าได้กล่าวแล้วในวันนี้”

FAQs

The Purāṇas frame destiny as ethically conditioned: past actions and holy or unholy conduct bear fruit across births, sometimes remembered by the jātismara.

This verse is more biographical than topographical; the broader passage remains situated in the Himācala sacred setting.

No direct ritual instruction appears; the verse concludes a testimony explaining the cause of the crane-form.
