Śrāddha-Kalpa: Pitṛ-Pūjā and Tithi-Phala (श्राद्धकल्पः पितृपूजा च तिथिफलम्)
स्थानानि देवतानां हि विमानानि पुराणि च । ऋषीणां चाश्रमाश्वचैव बभूवुरसुरैर््वता:,असुरोंने देवताओंके स्थान, विमान, नगर तथा ऋषियोंके आश्रम भी छीन लिये थे
sthānāni devatānāṃ hi vimānāni purāṇi ca | ṛṣīṇāṃ cāśramāś caiva babhūvur asurair hṛtāḥ ||
毗湿摩说道:阿修罗甚至夺取了诸天的神圣居处——他们古老的天车与圣城——也占据了诸仙圣者的林居道场。此段强调:不义(adharma)不仅以暴力显现,更以僭夺与亵渎本为礼敬、苦行与护持宇宙秩序而设的神圣空间而显现。
भीष्म उवाच
Adharma is shown as the violation of what is sacred: when hostile powers seize divine abodes and sages’ hermitages, they disrupt worship, austerity, and the moral-spiritual foundations that sustain order. Protecting sanctified institutions and spaces is therefore part of upholding dharma.
Bhishma describes a period of Asuric ascendancy in which the Asuras overpower the gods and extend their domination to holy domains—taking the gods’ abodes and ancient vimānas and even occupying the hermitages of the ṛṣis—signaling a widespread collapse of rightful order.
