Educational Q&A

The verse highlights how wrongdoing (pāpa) generates prolonged suffering—not only for victims but also as an inner fire of distress and agitation. It implicitly contrasts moral weakness (durbalatā) with the heavy consequences of evil action.

A rākṣasa speaks in the first person, lamenting that they have endured many pains inflicted by sinful adversaries and have long been inwardly burning with anguish (and possibly anger), emphasizing the duration and intensity of the affliction.
