Translation

تمہارے برہمن ہونے پر افسوس—عدمِ برداشت نے تمہاری ساری تپسیا چھین لی۔ تم صبر سے نہیں بلکہ بے صبری سے بھڑکائے گئے اور مغلوب ہوئے؛ تپسیا سے بلند نہیں ہوئے۔

FAQs

Tapas without kṣānti is unstable: a moment of anger can negate the moral and spiritual capital of long discipline. Brahminhood is defined more by restraint than by mere ascetic practice.

This passage is primarily Ākhyāna (narrative/illustrative dharma-teaching) rather than direct sarga/pratisarga/manvantara/vaṃśa/vaṃśānucarita. It supports dharma instruction through story.

Akṣānti symbolizes the mind’s reactive fire that ‘burns up’ accumulated merit; true tapas is inner mastery, not outer hardship. The verse frames spiritual power as contingent on sattvic restraint.
