कामक्रोधेन ये बद्धा लोभेन च वशीकृताः । अज्ञानतिमिराक्रांता मायातत्त्वे च संस्थिताः
kāmakrodhena ye baddhā lobhena ca vaśīkṛtāḥ | ajñānatimirākrāṃtā māyātattve ca saṃsthitāḥ
Những kẻ bị trói buộc bởi dục vọng và sân hận, bị lòng tham khuất phục, bị bóng tối vô minh bao phủ, và an trụ trong nguyên lý māyā—
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: An allegorical scene: a human figure bound by serpentine cords labeled kāma, krodha, lobha; a dark veil of avidyā; behind it, the shimmering outline of Prabhāsa/Śiva-linga as the liberating light that will be revealed in subsequent verses.
It diagnoses the classic bonds—desire, anger, greed, and ignorance—framing them as māyā-based entanglements that the tīrtha’s grace will soon be shown to overcome.
The surrounding passage belongs to Prabhāsa-kṣetra māhātmya, preparing to state how even the bound may attain the highest end there.
None in this half-verse; it is doctrinal/diagnostic rather than prescriptive.
