Narration of the Greatness of Harivāsara
Ekādaśī, the Day Sacred to Hari
एकादश्यां तथैवान्नभक्षणे वृजिनं भवेत् । रोगिणश्च तथा खंज काससोदरकुष्ठकाः
ekādaśyāṃ tathaivānnabhakṣaṇe vṛjinaṃ bhavet | rogiṇaśca tathā khaṃja kāsasodarakuṣṭhakāḥ
Cũng vậy, ăn uống vào ngày Ekādaśī trở thành nguồn gốc của tội lỗi; và do quả ấy người ta mắc bệnh—què quặt, tàn tật, ho suyễn, bụng trướng thủy (cổ trướng), hoặc phong cùi.
Not explicitly identifiable from the single verse (context needed from surrounding verses).
Concept: Breaking Ekādaśī dietary restraint generates sin and manifests as disease; bodily well-being is linked to dharmic discipline.
Application: Use Ekādaśī as a monthly reset: lighter diet or fast, hydration as appropriate to health, extra rest, and devotional focus; if ill, follow compassionate adaptations while keeping the spirit of restraint and remembrance.

Visual Art Cues: {"scene_description":"A split-scene moral illustration: on one side, a devotee on Ekādaśī sits calmly with japa-mālā and a small lamp before Viṣṇu’s symbols; on the other, a careless eater appears burdened by shadowy ailments—lameness, coughing, swollen belly—shown as allegorical dark bands around the body. Above both, the Ekādaśī tithi shines like a protective seal, suggesting that restraint is medicine for the soul and, in Purāṇic logic, for the body.","primary_figures":["Ekādaśī devotee","Symbolic transgressor afflicted by disease","Vishnu (as emblem: conch and discus or subtle presence)"],"setting":"Simple home shrine or temple corridor with lamp, conch, and tulasi pot implied (even if not mentioned); contrasting corner shows the consequence tableau.","lighting_mood":"temple lamp-lit","color_palette":["saffron gold","deep teal","charcoal black","copper brown","milk white"],"tanjore_prompt":"Tanjore painting style: central devotee fasting on Ekādaśī with japa-mālā before a small Viṣṇu shrine (conch and chakra), gold leaf on shrine arch and halo; side vignette shows a transgressor with allegorical disease marks (cough, swelling, lameness) in darker tones. Rich reds/greens, ornate borders, gem-like highlights, moral contrast composition.","pahari_prompt":"Pahari miniature style: intimate domestic shrine scene with delicate brushwork; devotee seated serenely, while a muted side panel depicts the afflicted transgressor with subtle symbolic cues (bent posture, hand to chest, swollen abdomen). Cool palette with warm lamp glow, refined facial features, gentle architectural lines.","kerala_mural_prompt":"Kerala mural style: bold outlines; devotee and shrine in bright pigments; the diseased figure rendered with stylized dark overlays indicating ailments; strong red/yellow/green palette with deep black accents, temple-wall aesthetic.","pichwai_prompt":"Pichwai cloth painting style: central Viṣṇu symbols with lotus border; narrative panels show Ekādaśī fasting, lamp offering, and a cautionary panel of illness as dark cloud motifs around a figure.
