मार्कंडेय उवाच । मा साहसमिदं कार्षीर्भद्र वाचं श्रृणुष्व मे । एति जीवंतमानंदो नरं वर्षशतादपि
mārkaṃḍeya uvāca | mā sāhasamidaṃ kārṣīrbhadra vācaṃ śrṛṇuṣva me | eti jīvaṃtamānaṃdo naraṃ varṣaśatādapi
马尔坎德耶说道:“贤善之人啊,莫行此鲁莽之举;请听我之言。人纵能活至百岁,仍可能遭遇忧苦。”
Mārkaṇḍeya
Listener: Śaunaka and sages (implied frame)
Scene: Mārkaṇḍeya stands between the king and the fire, palm raised in prohibition/assurance; his face is compassionate. The king pauses, shaken, listening as the sage speaks of life’s sorrows even across a hundred years.
Rash actions born of grief should be restrained; dharma is upheld by listening to wise guidance.
No tīrtha is mentioned in this verse; it is a moral admonition within the narrative.
None; the verse discourages a reckless act rather than prescribing a rite.
