किंतु सर्वगुणोपेतं सर्वलक्षणलक्षितम् । संपूर्णनिर्मलकलं पातयेद्विधुवद्विधिः
kiṃtu sarvaguṇopetaṃ sarvalakṣaṇalakṣitam | saṃpūrṇanirmalakalaṃ pātayedvidhuvadvidhiḥ
لیکن جو ہر خوبی سے آراستہ اور ہر مبارک نشان سے نشان زدہ ہو—ہر عضو میں کامل اور بے داغ—اسے بھی مخالف تقدیر گرا سکتی ہے، جیسے چاند اپنے مقررہ مدار کے حکم سے نیچے آتا ہے۔
Nārada (deduced from immediate context)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A sage explaining to concerned listeners: even a flawless, radiant figure can be ‘brought down’ by vidhi, illustrated by the moon descending along its ordained path—moon imagery dominating the sky behind the scene.
Auspicious signs and virtues do not remove the workings of destiny; therefore one should combine merit with vigilance and dharmic conduct.
The Kāśīkhaṇḍa context glorifies Kāśī’s sacred narrative world, though this verse is a general teaching on fate rather than a tīrtha-stuti.
None explicitly; it offers a doctrinal caution about daiva (destiny).
