Shloka 16
गौतमश्नापि सम्प्राप्प पुनस्तं शबरालयम् । शूद्रायां जनयामास पुत्रान् दुष्कृतकारिण:,गौतम भी पुनः भीलोंके ही गाँवमें जाकर रहने लगा। वहाँ उसने उस शूद्रजातिकी सत्रीके पेटसे ही अनेक पापाचारी पुत्रोंको उत्पन्न किया
Gautamaś cāpi samprāpya punas taṁ śabarālayam | śūdrāyāṁ janayāmāsa putrān duṣkṛtakāriṇaḥ ||
গৌতমো পুনৰ শবৰসকলৰ বাসস্থানলৈ গৈ তাতে থাকিল; আৰু এজনী শূদ্ৰা নাৰীৰ গৰ্ভে সি দুষ্কৃতকাৰী পুত্ৰসকল জন্ম দিলে।

The verse highlights the ethical consequence of repeatedly returning to an undisciplined or unrighteous setting: one’s choices and associations can shape outcomes, including the character of one’s descendants, leading to the spread of wrongdoing.
Bhīṣma narrates that Gautama returned to the Śabara habitation and, with a Śūdra woman, fathered multiple sons described as duṣkṛtakāriṇaḥ—habitual wrongdoers—marking a turn toward morally problematic lineage and conduct.
