The list of sins is over, and the speech passes to what happens not to the soul but to the land.
Durbhikṣa means “famine, dearth” — literally “bad alms”: a time when there is nothing to give the beggar.
And it is said: where He is honoured, this shall not be.
The promise is earthly and entirely material, and the book is not ashamed of it. We have seen such already: in the sixty-fifth verse of the fourth Upaniṣad of the pūrva long life and health were promised, in the sixty-sixth — a son to the sonless.
But here the promise is not private but common: not “to the worshipper” but “to the land where they worship”.
In this is the old and sound notion that piety is no private matter. A kingdom where the Highest is remembered is ordered otherwise than a kingdom where He is forgotten; and famine in it comes not from a bad harvest but from what is done with the harvest.
Note the name too: rāmabhadra, “Rāma the good”. By the same name the gods called Him in the fifteenth verse of the fourth Upaniṣad of the pūrva, when they asked protection.
The next verse will say what He is like.
