तावन्न दृश्यते च्छाया द्वितीया स्त्रीवधोद्भवा । लघुत्वं सर्वगात्राणि संप्राप्तानि महीपते
tāvanna dṛśyate cchāyā dvitīyā strīvadhodbhavā | laghutvaṃ sarvagātrāṇi saṃprāptāni mahīpate
اتنی دیر تک عورت کے قتل کے گناہ سے پیدا ہونے والا وہ دوسرا سایہ دکھائی نہ دیا؛ اور اے مالکِ زمین، اس کے تمام اعضا میں ہلکا پن آ گیا۔
Sūta (deduced)
Tirtha: Raktānubandha
Type: kund
Scene: After bathing, the king stands astonished as his uncanny ‘second shadow’ is absent; his posture becomes lighter, face clearer; attendants and sages notice the change.
Grave karmic burdens manifest in life, yet tīrtha-grace and dharmic acts can bring perceptible relief and purification.
Raktānubandha Tīrtha on Arbuda, whose snāna is shown to remove visible marks of pāpa.
Implied snāna-phala: bathing at the tīrtha yields pāpa-kṣaya signs (the ‘second shadow’ vanishes, bodily lightness arises).
