हिंसाभिरामश्न जनस्तथा सम्पद्यते5शुचि: । अधर्मफलमत्यर्थ तदा भवति चानघ,कलियुगमें सब लोग हिंसामें ही सुख माननेवाले तथा अपवित्र रहेंगे। निष्पाप! उस समय अधर्मका फल बहुत अधिक मात्रामें मिलेगा
hiṃsābhirāmāśn janaḥ tathā sampadyate 'śuciḥ | adharma-phalam atyarthaṃ tadā bhavati cānagha ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「カリの世には、人々は暴力に歓びを見いだし、そのために行いは穢れてゆく。おお無垢なる者よ、その時、アダルマの果ははなはだしく増大し、その報いは豊かにして圧倒的となる。」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Delighting in violence (hiṃsā) corrupts society and leads to impurity; when adharma dominates, its karmic results become intense and widespread, warning the listener to uphold dharma even in degenerate times.
Vaiśampāyana describes characteristics of the Kali age: people become fond of violence and morally impure, and the outcomes of unrighteous conduct manifest powerfully—framing a prophetic ethical diagnosis of the coming era.
