परिक्षीणोऽस्मि विप्रेंद्र क्षयव्याधिप्रभावतः । तस्मात्कुरु प्रतीकार महं त्वां शरणं गतः
parikṣīṇo'smi vipreṃdra kṣayavyādhiprabhāvataḥ | tasmātkuru pratīkāra mahaṃ tvāṃ śaraṇaṃ gataḥ
“Ôi Viprendra, bậc tôn chủ giữa hàng Bà-la-môn, con đã kiệt quệ bởi sức mạnh của chứng bệnh hao mòn này. Xin hãy ban phương cứu chữa; con đã đến nương tựa nơi Ngài.”
Candra (Moon)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Candra, visibly emaciated, speaks with folded hands to Romaka, pleading for a remedy; the sage listens with steady compassion.
Śaraṇāgati—taking refuge in the wise with humility—is a dharmic path to relief when one’s own strength is depleted.
Implicitly Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where the Moon seeks guidance for release from decline.
No specific rite is prescribed; the act emphasized is śaraṇāgati (seeking refuge) and requesting pratīkāra (remedy).
