अर्थितं तत्फलं विद्धि पुनः कार्पण्यमाविशत् । पुनर्मरणमाविश्य श्रीणपुण्यो भविष्यति
arthitaṃ tatphalaṃ viddhi punaḥ kārpaṇyamāviśat | punarmaraṇamāviśya śrīṇapuṇyo bhaviṣyati
جان لو کہ وہی پھل تھا جس کی اس نے آرزو کی؛ پھر اس میں بخل داخل ہو گیا۔ اور دوبارہ موت کے چکر میں پڑ کر وہ کم تر ثواب والا ہو جائے گا۔
Lomaśa
Tirtha: Kedāra-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: brāhmaṇas (vipra)
Scene: A moral tableau: Indra-like figure clutching wealth/pleasures, shadow of decay and rebirth looming; Lomaśa points to the wheel of saṃsāra, urging generosity.
Clinging and miserliness erode merit; dāna sustains puṇya, while kārpaṇya pulls the soul back toward decline and repeated mortality.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse teaches a general dharmic principle within the Kedāra-khaṇḍa discourse.
No specific rite; the implied prescription is to avoid kārpaṇya and uphold dāna to preserve puṇya.
