कोटिद्वयं ब्रह्मकल्पं कुंभीपाकी न संशयः । एककालं चरेद्भैक्षं न कुर्यात्तत्र विस्तरम्
koṭidvayaṃ brahmakalpaṃ kuṃbhīpākī na saṃśayaḥ | ekakālaṃ caredbhaikṣaṃ na kuryāttatra vistaram
Trong hai ức năm của Phạm Thiên, kẻ ấy chịu khổ nơi địa ngục Kumbhīpāka—không chút nghi ngờ. Vì vậy, hãy khất thực chỉ một lần mỗi ngày và chớ bày biện, phóng túng trong việc ấy.
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A bhikṣu receives a small portion of food once a day, standing quietly at a threshold after the household meal; in the background, a faint vision of Kumbhīpāka—boiling cauldron imagery—appears as a moral warning, contrasted with the calm Gaṅgā horizon.
Indulgence in alms and comforts undermines renunciation and is warned against with severe karmic consequences.
Within Kāśī Khaṇḍa, Kāśī is presented as a place where strict bhikṣu discipline is upheld.
Take bhikṣā once daily and avoid ‘expanding’ it into elaborate or comfort-seeking arrangements.
