Trita in the Well (Udapāna-kathā) — Balarāma’s Tīrtha Observances

तस्मान्नस्त्राहि सर्वा वै यथा न: सोम आविशेत्‌ । “भगवान्‌ चन्द्रमा सदा रोहिणीके ही समीप रहते हैं। वे आपकी बातको कुछ गिनते ही नहीं हैं। हमलोगोंपर स्नेह रखना नहीं चाहते हैं, अतः आप हम सब लोगोंकी रक्षा करें, जिससे चन्द्रमा हमारे साथ भी सम्बन्ध रखें”

tasmān nas trāhi sarvā vai yathā naḥ soma āviśet |

لہٰذا آپ ہم سب کی حفاظت کیجیے، تاکہ سوم (چاند) ہم سے بھی رشتہ قائم کرے۔ بھگوان چندرما ہمیشہ روہِنی کے قریب رہتا ہے؛ وہ آپ کی بات کو بھی خاطر میں نہیں لاتا۔ وہ ہم پر محبت رکھنا نہیں چاہتا؛ اس لیے آپ ہم سب کی حفاظت کریں، تاکہ چاند ہم سے بھی تعلق رکھے۔

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the ethical concern that favoritism disrupts harmony; protection is sought to restore balanced relationship and fair regard, aligning with dharma as equitable care for all.

A group (implied to be those feeling neglected) appeals for protection, asking that Soma (the Moon) may also ‘enter’ or relate to them—countering his perceived exclusive closeness to Rohiṇī.
