Adhyaya 70 — The King Confronts the Rakshasa and Restores the Brahmin’s Wife
नास्य दोषो न वा तस्य मम भर्तुर्महात्मनः ।
ममैव दोषो नान्यस्य सुकृतं ह्युपभुज्यते ॥
nāsya doṣo na vā tasya mama bhartur mahātmanaḥ |
mamaiva doṣo nānyasya sukṛtaṃ hy upabhujyate ||
Tidak ada kesalahan padanya, dan tidak pula pada suamiku yang berhati luhur itu. Kesalahan hanya milikku, bukan milik orang lain; sebab buah kebajikan (dan akibatnya) dinikmati oleh pelakunya sendiri.

Non-blame and self-attribution of doṣa point toward inner purification: liberation begins when the ego stops projecting causality outward and recognizes the law of inner seeds (karma) bearing fruit.
