Dahil sa paghinog ng dating karma, ang anak na iyon—bagaman musmos pa—ay sinakmal ng sakit na ketong, na nagdulot ng matinding dalamhati sa ama at ina.

Suffering is framed through karma-vipāka, preparing the narrative ground for purification and healing through tīrtha and divine grace.
The Gomukha-tīrtha context continues; the child’s affliction becomes the catalyst for the tīrtha’s salvific fame.
None explicitly here; it sets up the need for a remedial sacred act (typically tīrtha-snāna) in the subsequent narrative.
