भारवाडप्यरण्यान्यां ताम्रसंपुटमध्यतः । दृष्ट्वास्थीनि विनिःश्वस्य तानि त्यक्त्वा गृहं ययौ
bhāravāḍapyaraṇyānyāṃ tāmrasaṃpuṭamadhyataḥ | dṛṣṭvāsthīni viniḥśvasya tāni tyaktvā gṛhaṃ yayau
Sa gubat, binuksan din ng tagapasan ang tansong sisidlan at nakita sa loob ang mga buto. Malalim na napabuntong-hininga, itinapon niya ang mga iyon at umuwi sa bahay.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Scene: A porter in a desolate forest opens a copper casket; inside are bones. He exhales in despair and throws them away before walking off alone.
Greed often ends in disappointment; Purāṇic stories portray how ill-gotten gains can become worthless and spiritually degrading.
No specific tīrtha is named; the episode supports the broader Kāśī Māhātmya narrative context.
None; it narrates the discovery of bones in the casket and the porter’s reaction.
