धत्तूरकरवीरादि बहुधोपविषाणि च । क्रीडाकलहमात्रेण भक्षयच्चैष दुर्मतिः
dhattūrakaravīrādi bahudhopaviṣāṇi ca | krīḍākalahamātreṇa bhakṣayaccaiṣa durmatiḥ
Kẻ tâm địa ác này chỉ vì trò chơi và cãi vã trẻ con mà còn nuốt cả nhiều thứ độc nhẹ, như dhattūra và karavīra v.v.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A reckless man, driven by petty quarrels, consumes poisonous plants (dhattūra, karavīra) in a grim moral tableau; in the background, the sacred aura of Kāśī contrasts with his folly.
It condemns reckless, self-destructive behavior driven by petty impulses, showing how adharma degrades discernment (mati).
None is named in this verse; it remains within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s larger Kāśī framework.
No ritual is prescribed; the verse narrates harmful conduct.
