रविरुवाच । मयि दृष्टे सदा यस्मात्कुरुषे नेत्रसंक्षयम् । तस्माज्जनिष्यसे मूढे प्रजासंयमनं यमम्
raviruvāca | mayi dṛṣṭe sadā yasmātkuruṣe netrasaṃkṣayam | tasmājjaniṣyase mūḍhe prajāsaṃyamanaṃ yamam
روی نے کہا: “جب بھی تم مجھے دیکھتی ہو تو ہمیشہ اپنی آنکھوں کو نقصان پہنچاتی ہو؛ اس لیے اے فریب خوردہ! تم یم کو جنم دو گی، جو مخلوقات کو قابو میں رکھنے والا ہے۔”
Ravi/Arka (Sūrya)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Saṃjñā
Scene: Sūrya, blazing and stern, speaks a fateful curse to Saṃjñā. Saṃjñā stands trembling, eyes lowered, the air charged with solar heat; the word ‘Yama’ hangs like a decree of cosmic law.
Actions and dispositions lead to consequential outcomes; the Purāṇic curse motif teaches moral causality and the rise of cosmic governance (Yama).
Indirectly Prabhāsa-kṣetra, since the māhātmya places such cosmic origins within the sanctified narrative space of Prabhāsa.
None; it is a pronouncement (śāpa) explaining Yama’s birth.
