अनयोर्हि फलं ग्राह्यं सारता नात्र काचन । अर्धदेही च मनुजस्त्वसंस्पृश्यः सतांमतः
anayorhi phalaṃ grāhyaṃ sāratā nātra kācana | ardhadehī ca manujastvasaṃspṛśyaḥ satāṃmataḥ
ان دونوں سے صرف ظاہری ‘پھل’ ہی لیا جا سکتا ہے؛ یہاں کوئی حقیقی جوہر نہیں۔ اور ‘آدھا بدن’ انسان کو نیک لوگ ‘اَسَنسپِرِشیہ’ یعنی چھونے کے لائق نہیں سمجھتے (رسم و آداب میں اس سے اجتناب کرتے ہیں)۔
Same narrator (normative dharma voice) within Sūta’s discourse (deduced)
Scene: A ritual assembly at a tīrtha: elders indicate boundaries around a yajña/pujā space; one figure stands aside in hesitation, emphasizing the theme of eligibility versus mere fruit-seeking.
Dharma is not merely external ‘fruit’; it requires inner wholeness and rightful order, otherwise one becomes ritually/socially unsuitable.
No site is named in this verse; it stresses dharmic eligibility and purity norms.
An implicit purity rule: the ‘ardhadehī’ is deemed asaṃspṛśya (to be avoided) according to the virtuous.
