श्रीदेव्युवाच । यस्मात्सत्यं समुत्सृज्य लोभोपहतमानसैः । मदीयं लोपितं स्थानं तस्माच्छृण्वन्तु मे गिरम्
śrīdevyuvāca | yasmātsatyaṃ samutsṛjya lobhopahatamānasaiḥ | madīyaṃ lopitaṃ sthānaṃ tasmācchṛṇvantu me giram
شری دیوی نے فرمایا: “تم نے لالچ سے مغلوب دلوں کے ساتھ سچ کو چھوڑ کر میرا جائز مقام مٹا دیا؛ اس لیے اب میری بات سنو۔”
Śrī (Lakṣmī/Ramā)
Tirtha: Revā-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Devī Śrī speaks with commanding clarity, pointing to the moral breach—truth abandoned, greed enthroned—while the brāhmaṇas listen, their manuscripts now seeming accusatory evidence.
Greed-driven abandonment of truth causes the departure of Śrī (prosperity, auspiciousness, rightful order) from society.
The episode is set at Bhṛgukaccha in the Revā Khaṇḍa; the teaching frames the site as a stage for dharma and its consequences.
None explicitly in this verse; it introduces a pronouncement (often followed by a curse or rule) grounded in dharma.
