Sandhi Notes

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

A mind dominated by doṣas (faults) and saṃrambha (angry impulsiveness) becomes unreceptive: even well-intended, welfare-promoting counsel (śreyas) is rejected. Ethical speech alone is insufficient unless the listener has self-control and openness to dharma.

What is happening in the narrative?

Vaiśampāyana remarks that the person being discussed is burdened with many defects; therefore, even if addressed with beneficial advice, he will not accept it because anger and agitation overpower his judgment.
