SV: Verse identification

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

I think I found if not the source of the saying I asked you about then at least

a clear parallel. I asked you about the identity of the following verse:

 

pUrvajanmakRtaM pApaM vyAdhirUpeNa bAdhate / tacchAntir auSadhair dAnair

japahomArcanAdibhiH // (parAzaramAdhavIya in Islamapurkar 2, 2, p.273;

Tarkalankar 2, p.525).

 

I found a parallel in zAtAtapasmRti 1.4-5:

 

duSkarmajA nRNAM rogA yAnti copakramaiH zamam / jApyaiH surArcanair homair

dAnais teSAM zamo bhavet //

pUrvajanmakRtaM pApaM narakasya parikSaye / bhAdate vyAdhirUpeNa tasya

japyAdibhiH zamaH // [zAtAtapa 1.4-5 in smRtINAM samuccayaH (Apte 1905), p.396].

Kane (vol.4, p.172) quotes vv.1-4 of the same text).

 

best,

mikael
