गोप्रदानगुणाः तथा कपिलागोविधानम्
Merits of Cow-Gift and the Origin-Account of Kapilā Cows
न पारदारी पश्यति लोकमेतं न वै गुरुध्नो न मृषा सम्प्रलापी । सदा प्रवादी ब्राह्मणेष्वात्तवैरो दोषैरेतैर्यश्व युक्तो दुरात्मा,परस्त्रीगामी, गुरुहत्यारा, असत्यवादी, सदा बकवाद करनेवाला, ब्राह्मणोंसे वैर बाँध रखनेवाला, मित्रद्रोही, ठग, कृतघ्न, शठ, कुटिल, धर्मद्रेषी और ब्रह्महत्यारा--इन सब दोषोंसे युक्त दुरात्मा मनुष्य कभी मनसे भी गोलोकका दर्शन नहीं पा सकता; क्योंकि वहाँ पुण्यात्माओंका निवास है
pitāmaha uvāca | na pāradārī paśyati lokam etaṃ na vai gurudhno na mṛṣā sampralāpī | sadā pravādī brāhmaṇeṣv āttavairo doṣair etair yaś ca yukto durātmā |
Pitāmaha said: “One who violates another’s wife does not behold that world; nor does the slayer of his teacher, nor the one who speaks falsehood and deceit. The man ever given to slander, who has taken up enmity toward brāhmaṇas, and who is bound to such faults—such a wicked-souled person does not attain the blessed realm, for that abode is for the righteous.”

Educational Q&A
Certain grave transgressions—sexual misconduct with another’s spouse, killing one’s teacher, habitual lying, slander, and hostility toward brāhmaṇas—are presented as dharma-destroying vices that obstruct access to a righteous, heavenly realm reserved for the virtuous.
Bhīṣma (Pitāmaha), in his instruction on dharma during the Anuśāsana Parva, lists specific moral faults and declares their spiritual consequence: a person dominated by these vices cannot attain the auspicious world where the righteous dwell.
