Puṣkara Sacrifice: Gāyatrī’s Marriage, Sāvitrī’s Wrath, Rudra’s Test, and the Tīrtha-Māhātmya
जातवेदस्स रुद्रस्त्वां रेतसा प्लावयिष्यति । अमेध्येषु च ते जिह्वा अधिकं प्रज्वलिष्यति
jātavedassa rudrastvāṃ retasā plāvayiṣyati | amedhyeṣu ca te jihvā adhikaṃ prajvaliṣyati
وہ سب جاننے والا جات ویدس رودر تجھے اپنے ریتس سے ڈبو دے گا؛ اور ناپاک چیزوں کے سامنے تیری زبان اور بھی زیادہ شدت سے جل اٹھے گی۔
Unspecified in the provided excerpt (context needed to identify the dialogue speaker reliably).
Concept: Transgressive desire and ritual impurity rebound as embodied suffering; the instrument of consumption (tongue/fire) becomes the site of intensified torment.
Application: Guard senses and speech; what we ‘consume’—food, media, gossip—shapes inner heat (krodha/tāpa) and can become self-torment.

Visual Art Cues: {"scene_description":"A terrifying vision: Rudra, fierce and all-knowing, looms with storm-dark aura as a cursed figure recoils, overwhelmed by a flood-like force. The cursed one’s tongue is depicted as a blazing flame when confronted with impure offerings, the scene charged with revulsion and dread, warning against defilement.","primary_figures":["Rudra (fierce aspect)","cursed figure (likely Agni or an addressed being, per context)"],"setting":"mythic liminal space—half ritual ground, half stormy void—suggesting cosmic punishment rather than a human locale","lighting_mood":"storm-lit with harsh divine glare","color_palette":["ink black","blood red","sulfur yellow","ashen white","electric violet"],"tanjore_prompt":"Tanjore painting style: fierce Rudra with gold-leaf halo and weapon-like gestures, dramatic raised gesso flames; the afflicted figure shown with stylized blazing tongue; ornate borders in deep red and black; iconographic intensity balanced by traditional symmetry.","pahari_prompt":"Pahari miniature style: controlled depiction of dread—Rudra in dark aura, the afflicted figure in pale tones; fine flame detailing at the mouth; minimal background with storm clouds; restrained yet potent color contrasts.","kerala_mural_prompt":"Kerala mural style: bold outlines, Rudra’s fierce eyes enlarged, dynamic flame motifs for the tongue; strong red-yellow-black palette; stylized impurity symbols (dark offerings) near the afflicted figure; temple-wall dramatic clarity.","pichwai_prompt":"Pichwai cloth painting style: symbolic rather than graphic—Rudra central with patterned storm aura; flame-tongue motif rendered as decorative fire-lotus; deep indigo cloth with gold and red highlights; intricate borders to contain the fierce energy."}

Sandhi Resolution Notes: जातवेदस्स → जातवेदाः (visarga sandhi/orthographic assimilation); रुद्रस्त्वां → रुद्रः त्वाम्; अत्-समास/उपसर्ग: प्रज्वलिष्यति = pra + √jval + लृट्.
FAQs
Here it functions as an epithet meaning “the all-knowing/knower of beings,” used for Rudra/Śiva in the verse.
It implies a moral-ritual warning: association with impurity and improper speech/actions leads to painful consequences, with the tongue symbolizing speech, taste, and moral restraint.
Not directly; it reads more like a curse/penal consequence tied to purity and conduct. For Bhakti or tīrtha themes, adjacent verses and the chapter’s narrative context would be needed.
