पुम्भिः कदाचिद्दृष्ट्वा वा
EMEND पुम्भिः कदाचिद्दृष्ट्वा वा
TO पुम्भिः कदाचिददृष्ट्वा
(WITH NEGATED PASSIVE GERUND) WHICH FIXES THE MEANING, PRESERVES THE METER, AND AVOIDS THE OTIOSE वा
EVEN BETTER MIGHT BE पुम्भिः कदाचिददृष्टा BUT THIS WOULD REMOVE THE EASY EXPLANATION FOR HOW THE OTIOSE वा AROSE
\\\\\\\\
EMEND द्दृष्ट्वा TO द्दृष्टा FOR SURE
BUT I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT वा - MAYBE JUST EMEND IT TO वै ??? THEN THE TEXT WOULD MAKE GOOD SENSE
\\\
पुम्भिः कदाचिद्दृष्ट्वा वा ????
‘(Sita) was hitherto living in seclusion without being seen by any man outside the circle of her kith and kin’
I JUST DON’T QUITE SEE HOW THESE WORDS WORK TO MEAN THAT. I GUESS द्दृष्ट्वा COULD BE PASSIVE HERE. BUT WHY वा ‘or’?

मानुशोचथ
मानुशोचथ (?) == मा + अनुशोचथ (INDIC FOR MORE CORRECT IMPERATIVE) अनुशोचत == ‘Mourn ye not for (ACC)!’ I KNOW I HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE WHERE ॰थ HAS TO BE TAKEN AS IMPERATIVE ॰त BUT I CANNOT FIND ANY EXPLANATION FOR IT IF THIS WERE A TRUE SUBJUNCTIVE IT WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE LONG VOWEL - अनुशोचाथ - SINCE THIS IS A THEMATIC VERB.

Shraddhadeva was the king of the Dravida Kingdom before the Pralaya, the great flood. Forewarned about the flood by the matsya avatara of Vishnu, he saved humanity by building a boat that carried his family and the saptarishi to safety. He is the son of Vivasvana and is therefore also known as Vaivasvata Manu. He is also called Satyavrata (always truthful).
