Jaratkāru’s Conditional Marriage Vow and Vāsuki’s Offer (जरत्कारु-विवाह-नियमः)
क्रोधो हि धर्म हरति यतीनां दुःखसंचितम् । ततो धर्मविहीनानां गतिरिष्टा न विद्यते,क्रोध प्रयत्तशील साधकोंके अत्यन्त दुःखसे उपार्जित धर्मका नाश कर देता है। फिर धर्महीन मनुष्योंको अभीष्ट गति नहीं मिलती है
krodho hi dharmaṁ harati yatīnāṁ duḥkha-saṁcitam | tato dharma-vihīnānāṁ gatir iṣṭā na vidyate ||
قال شاميكا: «إن الغضب حقًّا يسرق الدharma التي جمعها الزهّاد (yati) عبر مشقّاتٍ طويلة. لذلك فمَن حُرم الدharma لا ينال المسار المرغوب ولا المصير المبارك.»

Educational Q&A
Anger is portrayed as a direct destroyer of hard-earned moral and spiritual merit; without dharma, one cannot reach an auspicious or desired destiny.
Śamīka delivers a moral warning, emphasizing that even ascetics who have accumulated merit through austerity can lose it through anger, and that loss of dharma leads to an unfavorable outcome.
