सर्वसङ्गपरित्यागे चित्ते निर्विषयीकृते । अयुक्तं षष्टिसहस्राणां कर्तं मम विनाशनम्
sarvasaṅgaparityāge citte nirviṣayīkṛte | ayuktaṃ ṣaṣṭisahasrāṇāṃ kartaṃ mama vināśanam
Khi tâm ta đã lìa bỏ mọi ràng buộc và trở nên vô duyên với các cảnh trần, thì thật không xứng để ta làm kẻ gây nên sự diệt vong của sáu vạn ấy.
Kapila (inferred from immediate context: his inner reflection is voiced)
Listener: Ṛṣis/Śaunaka group (typical frame; not explicit here)
Scene: A sage in deep dispassion sits in meditation, senses withdrawn; behind him a faint vision of a tragic mass-destruction he refuses to own, conveying moral recoil and renunciation.
True renunciation implies freedom from violent agency; the purified mind seeks reconciliation and dharmic resolution.
It prepares the ground for the glorification of Kāpila-tīrtha connected to Kapila’s purification acts.
No explicit ritual here; it expresses the ethical basis for undertaking prāyaścitta through tīrtha observances.
