Adhyaya 63 — The Birth of Svarocis and the Rescue of Manoramā: The Astra-Heart and the Healing of Curses
ततस्तयोः स तत्त्वज्ञो रोगघ्नैरौषधै रसैः ।
चकार नीरुजौ देहौ स्वरोचिरपराजितः ॥
tatas tayoḥ sa tattvajño rogaghnair auṣadhai rasaiḥ / cakāra nīrujau dehau svarocir aparājitaḥ
于是,那位通晓诸理、不可战胜的斯瓦罗奇沙,以能灭病的灵药草与医药精华,使她们二人的身体都脱离了疾患。
Knowledge is validated by its capacity to remove suffering. The text honors practical wisdom (tattvajñāna expressed as healing skill) as a dharmic good.
Manvantara narrative: while not a cosmological passage, it exemplifies how Purāṇas use Manu-era stories to transmit applied sciences and ethics.
Herbs and rasas indicate ‘earthly’ means; the teaching is that even curse-linked affliction can be mitigated through aligned knowledge—suggesting karma is not fatalism but a field where remedies operate.
