सर्वे चान्नं परीप्संतो गताश्चण्डालवेश्मनि । ज्ञात्वान्नसंग्रहं तस्य प्रार्थयाञ्चक्रुरन्त्यजम्
sarve cānnaṃ parīpsaṃto gatāścaṇḍālaveśmani | jñātvānnasaṃgrahaṃ tasya prārthayāñcakrurantyajam
Silang naghahanap ng pagkain ay nagtungo sa bahay ng isang caṇḍāla. Nang malaman nilang may naipong mga pagkain siya, nakiusap sila sa itinuring na mababa ang katayuan upang bigyan sila ng pagkain.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A group of hungry sages arrives at a humble caṇḍāla’s dwelling; the house shows stored grain jars/sacks. The moment is charged: revered ascetics at the threshold of a socially marginalized home.
In crisis, humility and the recognition of virtue transcend social labels; dharma is tested in real need.
Indirectly tied to Prabhāsa-kṣetra through the origin-legend of Akṣamāleśvara.
Implicit emphasis on anna (food) as a dharmic resource; the explicit teaching on feeding appears in subsequent verses.
