सांप्रतं नेक्ष्यते सोपि भृंगारुर्मणिमंडितः । पट्टसूत्रमयीसापि त्रिपटी क्व नृपार्पिता
sāṃprataṃ nekṣyate sopi bhṛṃgārurmaṇimaṃḍitaḥ | paṭṭasūtramayīsāpi tripaṭī kva nṛpārpitā
“如今连那镶嵌宝石的器皿也不见踪影;而那由国王赐予的三重丝带,又在何处?”
Dīkṣita
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Wife
Scene: The father notes a jeweled vessel is missing and asks about a threefold silk band given by the king; the household’s prestige seems threatened; objects become narrative symbols of trust.
The Purāṇic narrative highlights how attachment to wealth disrupts peace, urging truth and discernment amid material concerns.
Kāśī frames the chapter, but this verse itself lists household valuables rather than a sacred site.
None; it is an inventory-like questioning within the story.
