ब्रह्मघ्नाश्च कृतघ्नाश्च ये चान्ये गुरुतल्पगाः । महापातकिनश्चापि ते यान्ति परमां गतिम्
brahmaghnāśca kṛtaghnāśca ye cānye gurutalpagāḥ | mahāpātakinaścāpi te yānti paramāṃ gatim
برہمن کے قاتل، ناشکرے، اور دوسرے جو گُرو کے بستر کی حرمت توڑتے ہیں—ایسے مہاپاتکی بھی اعلیٰ ترین منزل کو پا لیتے ہیں۔
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: A stark contrast tableau: figures labeled by symbolic acts (broken sacred thread for brahmahatyā, overturned offering bowl for kṛtaghna, shadowed bed motif for gurutalpagamana) stand at the tīrtha edge; a radiant path rises upward signifying ‘paramā gati’.
The verse magnifies the tīrtha’s redemptive potency: even mahāpātakas are said to be overcome in the sanctity of Prabhāsa.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, implicitly as the locus where such sinners attain the supreme end.
No specific act is mentioned in the verse; it states the result (paramā gati) attributed to the place.
