लोकपालास्तथा सर्वे तस्य कर्म प्रचक्रिरे । दासवत्पार्थिवश्रेष्ठ यज्ञभागं विनाकृताः
lokapālāstathā sarve tasya karma pracakrire | dāsavatpārthivaśreṣṭha yajñabhāgaṃ vinākṛtāḥ
اسی طرح تمام لوک پالوں نے اس کے کام انجام دیے؛ اے بہترین بادشاہ! انہیں یَجْنَیَ بھاگ سے محروم کر کے غلاموں کی طرح لگا دیا گیا۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Listener: king addressed as 'pārthiva-śreṣṭha'
Scene: The eight Lokapālas stand with lowered insignia—Indra’s vajra dim, Varuṇa’s pāśa slack—performing another’s bidding like attendants; the atmosphere is heavy with humiliation and urgency.
Dharma sustains cosmic dignity; when adharma rules, rightful guardians are reduced to servitude and sacred reciprocity (yajña) collapses.
Not mentioned in this verse.
It implies the dharmic institution of yajña shares due to deities, here forcibly withheld.
