बाणयुद्धम्, हरिहरसंवादः, ज्वरप्रकरणम्, अनिरुद्धमोचनम्
Bāṇa’s War, the Jvara Episode, Hari–Hara Dialogue, and Aniruddha’s Release
मम त्वया समं युद्धं ये स्मरिष्यन्ति मानवाः विज्वरास् ते भविष्यन्तीत्य् उक्त्वा चैनं ययौ ज्वरः
mama tvayā samaṃ yuddhaṃ ye smariṣyanti mānavāḥ vijvarās te bhaviṣyantīty uktvā cainaṃ yayau jvaraḥ
“جو لوگ تمہارے اور میرے درمیان ہونے والی اس جنگ کو یاد کریں گے وہ بخار سے پاک رہیں گے۔” یہ کہہ کر جَور اس سے جدا ہو گیا۔
Jvara (the personified Fever)
The verse presents remembrance (smaraṇa) as a spiritually charged act that confers protection—here, specifically freedom from fever—because the event embodies a divinely sanctioned victory over affliction.
Disease is personified as an entity that can be confronted, subdued, and bound by a boon or vow; this makes suffering part of a moral-cosmic order where divine authority regulates even bodily afflictions.
Even when not named in this single line, the episode’s logic is Vaishnava: ultimate sovereignty belongs to the Supreme Reality who governs disorder (including illness), and auspicious remembrance of divinely ordered events becomes a means of grace and protection.
