अवज्ञां कुरुते नित्यं नारदस्य महात्मनः । रतक्रीडा स वै नित्यं रूपयौवनगर्वितः
avajñāṃ kurute nityaṃ nāradasya mahātmanaḥ | ratakrīḍā sa vai nityaṃ rūpayauvanagarvitaḥ
Chàng luôn tỏ lòng khinh mạn bậc đại hồn Nārada. Mải mê trong cuộc vui ái ân, chàng không ngừng say men kiêu hãnh vì sắc đẹp và tuổi trẻ.

Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: A proud, handsome youth absorbed in amorous play, turning away with disdain as the sage Nārada—vīṇā in hand—witnesses the impropriety with grave compassion.
Lack of self-restraint and pride in transient attributes (youth, beauty) breeds contempt for holiness, leading to karmic correction.
The verse sits within Prabhāsa Kṣetra’s Māhātmya framework, which ultimately channels the story toward pilgrimage, penance, and restoration.
None directly; it emphasizes inner discipline and respect as prerequisites for receiving sacred merit.
