प्रतिज्ञातमनिष्पाद्य मित्रस्याभ्यागतस्य च । कथंकारं न लज्जंते हताशा जीवितेप्सवः
pratijñātamaniṣpādya mitrasyābhyāgatasya ca | kathaṃkāraṃ na lajjaṃte hatāśā jīvitepsavaḥ
جو لوگ زندگی کے خواہاں ہیں مگر امید ہار چکے ہیں، وہ مدد کے لیے آئے ہوئے دوست سے کیا ہوا وعدہ پورا نہ کر کے بھی کیسے شرم نہیں کرتے؟
Nāḍījaṅgha
Scene: A reflective speaker questions how people who still desire life can feel no shame after breaking a promise to a friend seeking help; the scene is contemplative, with the friend’s arrival implied and the broken promise weighing heavily.
Keeping one’s promise—especially to a dependent friend—is a core dharma; survival without integrity is portrayed as shameful.
No holy site is referenced; the verse emphasizes ethical dharma within the narrative.
None; it is a moral injunction about fulfilling vows and promises.
