Omens and Consolation after Loss; Reaffirmation of the Saindhava Punishment Vow (उत्पात-दर्शनम्, आश्वासन-वाक्यानि, प्रतिज्ञा-स्थैर्यम्)
तेनात्मानं पावयस्वात्मना त्वं पापे55त्मानं मज्जयिष्यन्त्यसत्यात् । तस्मात् काम॑ रोषमप्यागतं त्वं संत्यज्यान्त: संहरस्वेति जीवान्,तू धर्मांचरणद्वारा स्वयं ही अपने-आपको पवित्र कर। असत्यका आश्रय लेनेसे प्राणी स्वयं अपने-आपको पापपंकमें डुबो लेंगे। इसलिये अपने मनमें आये हुए काम और क्रोधका त्याग करके तू समस्त जीवोंका संहार कर
tenātmānaṃ pāvayasvātmanā tvaṃ pāpātmānaṃ majjayiṣyanty asatyāt | tasmāt kāmaṃ roṣam apy āgataṃ tvaṃ saṃtyajyāntaḥ saṃharasveti jīvān ||
Nārada said: “Therefore purify yourself by your own disciplined conduct. By taking refuge in falsehood, beings will sink themselves into the mire of sin. Hence, casting away the desire and anger that have arisen in your mind, restrain yourself within—and do not become a destroyer of living beings.”
