Shloka 6
युधिष्ठिरस्य नगरप्रवेशः — चार्वाकप्रकरणं
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Entry into the City and the Cārvāka Episode
स तु लब्धवर: पापो देवानमितविक्रम: । राक्षसस्तापयामास तीव्रकर्मा महाबल:,वर पाकर वह अमित पराक्रमी महाबली और दु:ःसह कर्म करनेवाला पापात्मा राक्षस देवताओंको संताप देने लगा
sa tu labdhavaraḥ pāpo devān amitavikramaḥ | rākṣasas tāpayāmāsa tīvrakarmā mahābalaḥ ||
Pero aquel rākṣasa pecador, tras obtener el don y poseer un poder inconmensurable, comenzó a afligir a los dioses. Grande en fuerza e implacable en sus actos, empleó su poder duramente ganado no para la contención ni para el dharma, sino para atormentar el orden divino.

Educational Q&A
Power gained through boons or merit becomes ethically meaningful only when governed by dharma; when joined with pāpa (sinful intent), it turns into a force that harms others and destabilizes the rightful order.
Vāyudeva describes a boon-granted, immensely powerful Rākṣasa who, instead of exercising restraint, begins to oppress and torment the devas through fierce and intolerable actions.
