यच्छ्राद्धं सूकरः पश्येन्नारी वाथ रजस्वला । कौलेयकोऽथ वालेयस्तत्सर्वं ते भविष्यति
yacchrāddhaṃ sūkaraḥ paśyennārī vātha rajasvalā | kauleyako'tha vāleyastatsarvaṃ te bhaviṣyati
Bất cứ lễ śrāddha nào bị heo rừng nhìn thấy, hoặc bị người nữ đang hành kinh nhìn thấy, hoặc bị chó (dù giống hèn hay chó hoang) nhìn thấy—mọi lỗi ấy đều sẽ vướng vào lễ śrāddha của ngươi.
Brahmā (continuation from prior verse context)
Type: ghat
Listener: Rākṣasa (implied continuing interlocutor)
Scene: A śrāddha scene where the performer guards the ritual space: darbha-lined area, offerings set; at the periphery a dog/boar approaches and is gently turned away; the atmosphere is tense but controlled, emphasizing ritual boundary.
Śrāddha should be protected from impurity and disturbance; attentiveness to ritual setting safeguards the rite’s sanctity.
No named tīrtha here; the verse is procedural guidance within a tīrtha-māhātmya discourse.
Avoid allowing śrāddha to be observed/disturbed by inauspicious beings or conditions associated with ritual impurity.
