गीतवाद्यरतस्तत्र वेश्यासु निरतो भृशम् । प्रजोपद्रवकृन्मूर्खः सर्वधर्मबहिष्कृतः
gītavādyaratastatra veśyāsu nirato bhṛśam | prajopadravakṛnmūrkhaḥ sarvadharmabahiṣkṛtaḥ
وہاں وہ گیت اور ساز میں مبتلا ہو گیا اور طوائفوں میں حد درجہ منہمک رہا۔ رعایا کو ستانے والا ایک احمق، وہ ہر دھرم سے خارج کر دیا گیا تھا۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Prabhāsa-khaṇḍa māhātmya narration style)
Scene: A king in Gandhāra surrounded by musicians and courtesans, while outside the palace the people suffer under oppressive rule; dharma personified as turning away.
Indulgence and oppression of others estrange a person from dharma and prepare the ground for suffering, highlighting the need for repentance and right conduct.
The broader narrative belongs to Prabhāsa-kṣetra (near Somnātha), whose sanctity later becomes the turning point in the story.
None in this verse; it describes the person’s adharmic lifestyle as narrative contrast to later worship.
