किमेवं बुध्यते देव कृतमेतद्विचेष्टितम् । मां परित्यज्य यः कामात्कृतवानसि किल्बिषम्
kimevaṃ budhyate deva kṛtametadviceṣṭitam | māṃ parityajya yaḥ kāmātkṛtavānasi kilbiṣam
“اے دیو! تو نے ایسا کیسے سوچا اور ایسا ہی کر گزرا؟ خواہش کے زیرِ اثر مجھے چھوڑ کر تو نے یقیناً گناہ آلود خطا کی ہے۔”
Devī
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Naimiṣāraṇya sages
Scene: Devī, eyes blazing, speaks a piercing accusation to Brahmā: ‘abandoning me out of desire, you committed kīlbiṣa’; Brahmā remains silent, the hall stunned.
Desire-driven actions (kāma) can become adharma and lead to sin; even the exalted are accountable to dharma.
The rebuke occurs within the Prabhāsa-kṣetra narrative frame, reinforcing that Prabhāsa is a place where dharma is upheld.
None directly; the verse is an ethical accusation tied to an ongoing ritual/assembly context.
