यत्पापं मद्यपानां च सुवर्णस्तेयिनां तथा । यत्पापं गुरुघातानां तत्पापं वा भवेन्मम
yatpāpaṃ madyapānāṃ ca suvarṇasteyināṃ tathā | yatpāpaṃ gurughātānāṃ tatpāpaṃ vā bhavenmama
“Và nếu trẫm làm trái, xin cho tội của kẻ uống rượu say, tội của kẻ trộm vàng, cùng tội của kẻ sát hại thầy—chính những tội ấy giáng xuống trẫm.”
The King (rājā)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Scene: A didactic tableau: the king speaks while three symbolic vignettes appear—broken wine vessel (surā), a stolen gold ornament (suvarṇa), and a fallen guru’s staff (guru-ghāta)—all shown as ominous warnings hovering like visions.
Dharma is safeguarded by self-restraint and solemn vows; grave sins are invoked to deter betrayal of truth.
The narrative remains within Dharmāraṇya; the emphasis is moral restoration rather than a new tīrtha description.
None directly; the verse functions as a dharmic oath using the language of major sins (mahāpāpa).
