ダルマは言った。「これより、そのような振る舞いから生ずる過失（罪と功徳の減損）を説き明かそう。心を一つにして聞け。」文脈において彼は、愚か者が驕りに任せて足で蹴り、牛、尊ぶべきブラーフマナ、あるいは燃え盛る火に触れるときに招く、重大なダルマ違反の報いを列挙しようとしている。
धर्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Dharma teaches that certain beings and symbols—especially the cow, the brāhmaṇa, and fire—are to be approached with reverence and self-control; contemptuous physical aggression (even by kicking) is a serious breach of dharma that yields heavy moral fault (doṣa).
Dharma, as the speaker, announces that he will list the specific faults and consequences connected with an act of arrogant disrespect—touching/striking with the foot a cow, a venerable brāhmaṇa, or a blazing fire—and urges the listeners to pay close attention.
