भवत्कृतमिदं विश्वं विश्वस्मिन्वर्तते बलिः । छद्मना नैव गृह्णन्ति साधवो ये महेश्वर
bhavatkṛtamidaṃ viśvaṃ viśvasminvartate baliḥ | chadmanā naiva gṛhṇanti sādhavo ye maheśvara
یہ کائنات تمہاری ہی بنائی ہوئی ہے اور بلی اسی کائنات میں رہتا ہے۔ اے مہیشور! جو سچے نیک ہیں وہ فریب سے کبھی قبول نہیں کرتے۔
Bāṇa (addressing the Lord)
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A moralist voice addresses Mahēśvara/Jagadīśvara: the universe is yours and Bali is within it; yet the truly virtuous do not take by disguise—depicting a solemn ethical confrontation in a yajña hall.
Dharma values transparent righteousness; the verse challenges ‘deceptive taking’ and upholds truth as the mark of sādhus.
The teaching is embedded in the Vastrāpathakṣetra Māhātmya of Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa, a pilgrimage-centered portion of the Skanda Purāṇa.
No direct ritual instruction; the emphasis is ethical—how gifts should be received in conformity with dharma.
