कुरु मे सत्वरं कार्यं दक्षयज्ञं क्षयं नय । ये त्वां तत्रावमन्यंते तत्साहाय्यविधायिनः
kuru me satvaraṃ kāryaṃ dakṣayajñaṃ kṣayaṃ naya | ye tvāṃ tatrāvamanyaṃte tatsāhāyyavidhāyinaḥ
میرا کام فوراً انجام دے: دکش کے یَجْن کو تباہی تک پہنچا دے۔ اور وہاں جو لوگ تیری توہین کریں، جو اس یَجْن کے کام میں مددگار ہوں، اُن سے بھی اسی کے مطابق نمٹا جائے۔
Śiva
Tirtha: Dakṣa-yajña-sthala (Kankhal) referenced; Kāśī as narrative sanctum
Type: kshetra
Listener: Vīrabhadra
Scene: Śiva issues a swift, uncompromising order to Vīrabhadra: destroy Dakṣa’s sacrifice and subdue those who support the insult; the atmosphere is charged with righteous fury.
Ritual without humility and reverence becomes empty; dharma protects devotion over prideful ceremony.
The narrative sits within the Kāśī Khaṇḍa’s sacred geography, but this verse specifically addresses Dakṣa’s yajña rather than a Kāśī tīrtha.
No positive prescription; the verse critiques a corrupted yajña and orders its cessation.
