स्थितिमुत्थापयामास धर्मोपेतां सनातनीम् । वेदशास्त्राण्यतिक्रम्य ह्यधर्म निरतोऽभवत्
sthitimutthāpayāmāsa dharmopetāṃ sanātanīm | vedaśāstrāṇyatikramya hyadharma nirato'bhavat
اس نے دھرم سے آراستہ ازلی نظام کو الٹ پلٹ دیا۔ ویدوں اور شاستروں کی حدیں توڑ کر وہ ادھرم میں ڈوب گیا۔
Purāṇic narrator (contextual; within Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Scene: The king topples a symbolic pillar of Dharma (sanātanī sthiti), while Veda manuscripts and śāstra scrolls lie trampled; shadowy figures of adharma rise behind him.
When rulers abandon Vedic-śāstric guidance, social order collapses and adharma becomes dominant.
The broader frame is Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya (the greatness of Prabhāsa), though this verse focuses on a moral-historical episode.
None directly; it establishes the theme of rejecting Vedic ritual and dharma.
