मैत्रेयागमनम् — The Arrival of Maitreya and the Admonition to Duryodhana

Devanagari script

हिडिम्बबकयो: पाप न त्वमश्रुप्रमार्जनम्‌ । करिष्यसि गतश्लापि यमस्य सदन प्रति,'“ओ पापी! अब तू यमलोकमें जाकर भी हिडिम्ब और बकासुरके आँसू न पोंछ सकेगा”

Transliteration

Hiḍimbabakayoḥ pāpa na tvam aśrupramārjanam kariṣyasi gataślāpi yamasya sadana prati.

Translation

Vidura said: “O sinner! Even after you go to Yama’s abode, you will not be able to wipe away the tears of Hiḍimbā and Bakāsura.” In ethical force, the line condemns a wrongdoer whose cruelty has caused irreparable suffering—so great that neither escape nor death can undo the harm or atone for it.
