द्वारकावासिनो ये वै निंदंति पुरुषाधमाः । कृष्णस्नेहविहीनास्ते पतंति दुःखसागरे
dvārakāvāsino ye vai niṃdaṃti puruṣādhamāḥ | kṛṣṇasnehavihīnāste pataṃti duḥkhasāgare
جو کمینے لوگ دوارکا کے باشندوں کی مذمت کرتے ہیں وہ کرشن کی محبت سے خالی ہیں؛ وہ غم کے سمندر میں جا گرتے ہیں۔
Prahlāda (continued)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: A moral tableau: arrogant men reviling Dvārakā’s residents while a devotional aura around the city contrasts with their fall into a dark ‘ocean of sorrow’.
Devotee-respect is integral to bhakti; insulting the holy residents of a sacred kṣetra is treated as a grave spiritual fault leading to suffering.
Dvārakā, particularly its community of residents (Dvārakā-vāsins) who are to be honored, not reviled.
No formal ritual; an ethical injunction is implied—avoid nindā (revilement) and cultivate Kṛṣṇa-sneha (love for Kṛṣṇa).
