Vimokṣa-niścaya: Pañcaśikha’s Analysis of Aggregates, Guṇas, and Tyāga (मोक्षनिर्णयः)

अथवा मन्त्रवद्ब्रूयुरात्मादानाय दुष्कृतम्‌ । स वै हेतुरनादाने शुद्धरर्मानुपालने

athavā mantravad brūyur ātmādānāya duṣkṛtam | sa vai hetur anādāne śuddha-dharmānupālane

أو قد يعلنون—بخشوعٍ كأنهم يتلون صيغةً مقدسة—أن السيئة ينبغي أن «يأخذها المرء على نفسه» (يعترف بها ويتحملها). فإن هذا القبول بعينه يصير سببًا لعدم معاودة الذنب، وسببًا للمواظبة الأمينة على الدارما الطاهرة.

Educational Q&A

Owning one’s wrongdoing—openly and solemnly—functions as a moral remedy: it prevents repetition of the fault and supports steady adherence to pure dharma.

Bhīṣma, instructing on dharma in the Śānti Parva, explains a principle of ethical correction: confession/acceptance of misdeeds (spoken with mantra-like seriousness) becomes a cause for restraint and renewed commitment to righteous conduct.
