मा धेहि गर्वं कीनाश हास्यं यास्यसि पीडयन् । प्राणिनं सर्वशरणं तद्भावि शरणं तव
mā dhehi garvaṃ kīnāśa hāsyaṃ yāsyasi pīḍayan | prāṇinaṃ sarvaśaraṇaṃ tadbhāvi śaraṇaṃ tava
اے بخیل! غرور نہ کر؛ کسی جاندار کو ستاتے ہوئے تو ہنسی کا نشانہ بنے گا۔ جو سب مخلوقات کی پناہ ہے، آخرکار وہی تیری پناہ بنے گا۔
Deductively: Skanda
Tirtha: Revā-khaṇḍa (general)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A proud miser humiliating a weak being is shown becoming an object of ridicule; in contrast, the compassionate path leads to the sheltering presence of the universal Refuge, hinted as a radiant deity beyond the scene.
Pride and cruelty degrade a person; humility and compassion align one with the ultimate refuge of all beings.
The verse belongs to the Revā Khaṇḍa discourse; the site-context is the Revā-tīra though the teaching is ethical.
A behavioral discipline: avoid pride and do not harm living beings (ahiṃsā implied).
