अज्ञानतो हि यज्जातं पापं तस्य प्रतिक्रिया । कथिता धर्म्मशास्त्रज्ञैः सकामस्य न विद्यते
ajñānato hi yajjātaṃ pāpaṃ tasya pratikriyā | kathitā dharmmaśāstrajñaiḥ sakāmasya na vidyate
جو گناہ نادانی سے پیدا ہو، اس کا کفّارہ دھرم شاستروں کے جاننے والوں نے بتایا ہے؛ مگر جو گناہ جان بوجھ کر کیا جائے، اس کے لیے ایسا کفّارہ تسلیم نہیں کیا جاتا۔
Bṛhaspati
Tirtha: Kedāra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A solemn dharma-teacher in a Himalayan hermitage near Kedāra instructs a remorseful pilgrim about the difference between ignorance-born and willful sin; snowy peaks and a river/pond frame the scene.
Intention matters in dharma: ignorance allows correction, while willful wrongdoing is treated as far more severe.
No tīrtha is named; the verse is doctrinal instruction delivered within the Kedārakhaṇḍa narrative.
Only the principle is stated—remedies exist for ignorance-born sin; no specific ritual is listed here.
