कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity
ते वै यदि नरास्तस्मान्निरयादुत्तरन्ति वै । वर्षपूगैस्ततो जन्म लभन्ते कुत्सिते कुले
te vai yadi narās tasmān nirayād uttaranti vai | varṣa-pūgais tato janma labhante kutsite kule ||
সেই মানুহবোৰ যদি শেষত সেই নৰকৰ পৰা ওলাই আহিবও পাৰে, তথাপি বহু বছৰৰ পাছতহে তেওঁলোকৰ পুনৰ জন্ম হয়—আৰু সেয়াও নিন্দিত, হীন কুলত। সেয়ে যিসকলে গুৰুজন, বৃদ্ধ আৰু পূজনীয় লোকক অৱজ্ঞা কৰে, তেওঁলোকে দুখ ভোগ কৰি, মুক্তিৰ পাছতো নিন্দিত সমাজসমূহত জন্ম লৈ কৰ্মফল ভোগ কৰে।

Educational Q&A
Disrespect toward elders, teachers, and venerable persons is a grave ethical fault that leads to hellish suffering; even after release, the karmic residue manifests as an inferior and censured rebirth, underscoring accountability across lifetimes.
Maheśvara is describing the post-mortem fate of wrongdoers: they suffer in hell, and if they eventually emerge, it is only after a long duration; then they are reborn in a degraded family as a consequence of their prior contemptuous conduct.
