प्रथमं चौषधीद्रोग्धा आत्मद्रोग्धा ततः पुनः । पितृद्रोग्धा विश्वद्रोग्धा यात्यंधं शाश्वतीः समाः
prathamaṃ cauṣadhīdrogdhā ātmadrogdhā tataḥ punaḥ | pitṛdrogdhā viśvadrogdhā yātyaṃdhaṃ śāśvatīḥ samāḥ
پہلے شفابخش جڑی بوٹیوں کا غدار، پھر اپنی ہی جان کا غدار؛ پھر پِتروں کا غدار، اور آخرکار سارے جگت کا غدار—ایسا شخص بے شمار برسوں تک گھپ اندھیرے میں جا پڑتا ہے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Scene: A four-step moral descent shown as a sequence: (1) cutting medicinal herbs, (2) a figure harming himself, (3) neglecting ancestral rites with pitṛs fading, (4) a world-scene in distress; finally, the sinner falls into a cavern of darkness.
Betrayal—of healing, self, ancestors, or society—destroys dharma and leads to severe karmic darkness.
No single tīrtha is named in this verse; it functions as a general dharmic warning within the Kaumārikākhaṇḍa discourse.
None explicitly; the verse emphasizes ethical restraint (droha-tyāga) rather than a specific rite.
