Devanagari script
अयज्ञीयद्रुमे देशे रुकुसिंहनिषेविते | भविता त्वं मृग: क्रूरो महादुः:खसमन्वित:
Transliteration
ayajñīyadrume deśe rukusiṃhaniṣevite | bhavitā tvaṃ mṛgaḥ krūro mahāduḥkhasamanvitaḥ ||
Translation
Dijo Vaiśaṃpāyana: «En una región colmada de árboles impropios para los ritos del yajña, frecuentada sólo por rurus y leones, te convertirás en una fiera cruel, cargada de gran sufrimiento». Esta sentencia señala la consecuencia moral: quien quebranta el orden sagrado y la recta conducta es arrojado a una existencia degradada y temerosa, apartado del ámbito sustentador del yajña y de la comunidad.
