सूचीभी रोमकूपेषु तनुं व्यधिहि सर्वतः । दातुः परकलत्रांगे नखपंक्ती दुरात्मनः
sūcībhī romakūpeṣu tanuṃ vyadhihi sarvataḥ | dātuḥ parakalatrāṃge nakhapaṃktī durātmanaḥ
Tusukin ng mga karayom ang kanyang katawan sa lahat ng dako, hanggang sa mga butas ng balat. Sa mga viyas ng masamang-loob na iyon na lumalapastangan sa asawa ng iba, magbaon ng mga hanay ng pako.
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A hellish punitive tableau: the offender’s body is pierced as if every hair-pore becomes a site of pain; rows of nails set upon limbs—symbolizing total pervasion of karmic consequence.
Desire that trespasses others’ sanctity becomes a cause of suffering; dharma demands restraint and respect for others’ marriages.
Kāśī is the overarching sacred setting; the verse itself is not a tīrtha description.
None stated; the verse is a deterrent depiction rather than a rite.
