कथं भुनक्ति स दिवा कथं रात्रौ स्वपित्यहो । रहः शर्म कथं तस्य यस्याभिभवनं रिपोः
kathaṃ bhunakti sa divā kathaṃ rātrau svapityaho | rahaḥ śarma kathaṃ tasya yasyābhibhavanaṃ ripoḥ

Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra

Defeat and humiliation, when internalized through ego, destroy peace, appetite, and rest.
None; this is introspective narrative speech.
None.
