Jaratkāru’s Marital Compact and Departure (जरत्कारु–जरत्कारुणी संवादः)
त॑ दृष्टवा जीवितं वृक्ष काश्यपेन महात्मना । उवाच तक्षको ब्रह्मन् नैतदत्यद्भुतं त्वयि
taṁ dṛṣṭvā jīvitaṁ vṛkṣaṁ kāśyapena mahātmanā | uvāca takṣako brahman naitad atyadbhutaṁ tvayi ||
مہاتما کاشیپ کے زندہ کیے ہوئے اس درخت کو دیکھ کر تکشک بولا—اے برہمن! تم جیسے منتر وید کے جاننے والے میں یہ کوئی بہت بڑا تعجب نہیں۔
काश्यप उवाच
Educational Q&A
Extraordinary outcomes are presented as natural consequences of genuine spiritual discipline and mantra-knowledge; true power is recognized without envy, and reverence is shown to realized authority.
Kāśyapa revives a tree, demonstrating his mantra-power; witnessing this, Takṣaka addresses him respectfully and remarks that such a feat is unsurprising for a Brahmin of Kāśyapa’s stature.
