राजोवाच । पितामह महामान्य त्रिलोकी करणक्षम । महाप्रसाद इत्याज्ञां त्वदीयां मूर्ध्न्युपाददे
rājovāca | pitāmaha mahāmānya trilokī karaṇakṣama | mahāprasāda ityājñāṃ tvadīyāṃ mūrdhnyupādade
بادشاہ نے کہا: “اے پِتامہہ، نہایت معزز، تینوں لوکوں کو نظم دینے والے! آپ کا حکم میرے لیے عظیم کرم ہے۔” یہ کہہ کر اس نے آپ کی آج्ञا کو سر آنکھوں پر رکھا۔
King Ripuṃjaya (Divodāsa-to-be)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The king bows deeply, touching his crown/forehead as if placing Brahmā’s command upon his head; Brahmā bestows a calm, approving gaze.
Dharma begins with reverent acceptance of righteous instruction; humility empowers rightful rule.
Kāśī is the narrative locus; the verse models devotional reverence rather than praising a specific tirtha.
No formal rite; the act of placing the command ‘on the head’ signifies complete acceptance and devotion.
