Adhyaya 61 — The Second Manvantara Begins: The Brahmin’s Swift Journey and Varuthini’s Temptation on Himavat
नित्यनैमित्तिकानान्तु महाहानिर्द्विजन्मनः । भवत्यतस्त्वं हे भद्रे ! मामुद्धर हिमालयात् ॥
nitya-naimittikānāṃ tu mahā-hānir dvijanmanaḥ | bhavaty atas tvaṃ he bhadre! mām uddhara himālayāt ||
“Đối với người ‘nhị sinh’, việc bỏ bê các nghi lễ hằng ngày và nghi lễ theo thời là một tổn thất rất lớn. Vì vậy, hỡi bậc nhân từ, xin cứu con khỏi dãy Hi-mã-lạp-sơn.”

Purāṇic ethics here emphasizes continuity of discipline: dharma is sustained by repetition (nitya) and timely responsiveness (naimittika). Neglect is portrayed as a ‘mahā-hāni’—a major spiritual and social setback.
Not directly pancalakṣaṇa; it is dharma-śikṣā (instruction on conduct) within narrative.
The ‘Himālaya’ can function as a symbol of alluring otherworldly heights (pleasure, wonder, even ascetic romance) that can distract from one’s ordained rhythm of duty.
