संपृच्छे जननि त्वाहं सम्यक्शंस ममाग्रतः । भार्यात्वेपि च सामान्ये कथं सा सुरुचिः प्रिया
saṃpṛcche janani tvāhaṃ samyakśaṃsa mamāgrataḥ | bhāryātvepi ca sāmānye kathaṃ sā suruciḥ priyā
“اے ماں، میں تم سے پوچھتا ہوں—میرے سامنے صاف صاف بتاؤ۔ جب دونوں برابر کی بیویاں ہیں تو وہ سُروچی بادشاہ کو کیسے عزیز ہے؟”
Dhruva
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sages in the Naimiṣa setting (typical)
Scene: Dhruva stands before Sunīti, palms slightly raised in questioning; Sunīti’s face shows pain and compassion; the name ‘Suruci’ hangs in the air as a symbol of courtly favoritism.
Partiality in relationships creates inner turmoil; dharma seeks truth through honest questioning.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
