Educational Q&A
The verse asserts the moral law of karmic consequence: wrongful actions (pāpa-karma) inevitably yield results, and in this context the retribution is imminent rather than distant.
Sañjaya, narrating events to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, issues a grave warning to the Kauravas: their present conduct is sinful and its consequences will soon return upon them amid the unfolding violence of the war.
