Adhyaya 58 — The Kurma-Form of Narayana: Mapping Bharata through Nakshatras, Regions, and Planetary Afflictions
आत्मन्यथाल्पपुण्यानां सर्वत्रैवातिपापिनाम् ।
नैकत्रापि ह्यपापानां भयमस्ति कदाचन ॥
ātmanyathālpapuṇyānāṃ sarvatraivātipāpinām / naikatrāpi hyapāpānāṃ bhayamasti kadācana
یوں کم ثواب والوں اور بڑے گناہگاروں کو ہر جگہ، حتیٰ کہ اپنی ذات کے بارے میں بھی خوف ہوتا ہے؛ مگر بےگناہوں کو کبھی خوف نہیں ہوتا، ایک جگہ پر بھی نہیں۔

Ethical purity is presented as the deepest security: fear is not merely external but rooted in one’s karmic and moral condition.
Dharma-upadeśa embedded within a cosmological discourse; Purāṇas often interleave ethics with descriptions of time and fate.
Fearlessness (abhaya) is treated as an inner radiance born of non-contradiction with dharma; the ‘sinless’ are aligned with ṛta, hence unshaken by omens.
