नमस्कारेण शूद्रस्य क्रियासिद्धिर्भवेद्ध्रुवम् । निषिद्धाचरणं कुर्वन्पितृभिः सह मज्जति
namaskāreṇa śūdrasya kriyāsiddhirbhaveddhruvam | niṣiddhācaraṇaṃ kurvanpitṛbhiḥ saha majjati
Para sa isang Śūdra, ang ganap na katuparan ng mga ritwal ay tiyak sa pamamagitan ng magalang na namaskāra. Ngunit ang gumagawa ng ipinagbabawal na asal ay lulubog na kasama ang kanyang mga ninuno.
Skanda (deduced: Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa Māhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A pilgrim at Prabhāsa stands with folded hands (namaskāra) before a sacred shrine/shoreline; behind him, shadowy ancestral figures rise or sink depending on conduct, illustrating uplift through reverence versus downfall through forbidden acts.
Humility and lawful conduct sustain spiritual efficacy; prohibited actions are said to bring ancestral downfall.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, where the text frames right conduct as integral to tīrtha merit.
Namaskāra is recommended as an effective practice, while niṣiddha (forbidden) acts are warned against.
