Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment
स्वदोषकोपनादू रोगं लभते मरणान्तिकम् | अपि वोदड्)चन्धनादीनि परीतानि व्यवस्यति
svadoṣakopanād u rogaṁ labhate maraṇāntikam | api vodaka-candanādīni parītāni vyavasyati |
Ketika cela diri sendiri menyala dalam amarah, seseorang mendatangkan penyakit yang dapat berujung pada kematian. Atau, digerakkan oleh gejolak batin itu, ia memutuskan jalan yang terlarang menurut śāstra—seperti menggantung diri atau menenggelamkan diri—dan berpaling dari jalan dharma.

Educational Q&A
Unchecked inner दोष (faults) and anger do not merely harm others; they rebound upon oneself as severe illness and can drive one toward adharmic, self-destructive choices. The verse warns that ethical self-restraint protects both body and mind.
A Siddha is instructing or admonishing, describing the downward spiral caused by inner दोष becoming inflamed: first manifesting as fatal disease, and then as a resolve to adopt forbidden measures like hanging or drowning—illustrating the moral and practical danger of losing self-control.
