Adhyāya 208: Aṅgirasī-kanyāḥ

Enumeration of Aṅgiras’ daughters and attribute-names

विकर्मणा तप्यमान: पापाद विपरिमुच्यते । न तत्‌ कुर्या पुनरिति द्वितीयात्‌ परिमुच्यते,जो मनुष्य पापकर्म बन जानेपर सच्चे हृदयसे पश्चात्ताप करता है, वह उस पापसे छूट जाता है तथा “फिर कभी ऐसा कर्म नहीं करूँगा” ऐसा दृढ़ निश्चय कर लेनेपर वह भविष्यमें होनेवाले दूसरे पापसे भी बच जाता है

vikarmaṇā tapyamānaḥ pāpād viparimucyate | na tat kuryā punar iti dvitīyāt parimucyate ||

猟師は言った。「過ちを犯したのち悔恨に責められる者は、その罪から解き放たれる。さらに『二度と同じことはせぬ』と堅く誓うなら、第二の罪—すなわち同じ悪を繰り返して生じる未来の罪からさえ免れる。」

व्याध उवाच

V
vyādha (the hunter; speaker)

Educational Q&A

True inner remorse for wrongdoing loosens the bond of the sin already committed, and a firm vow not to repeat the act prevents the next, repeated sin—linking moral purification to both repentance and future self-restraint.

In the Vyādha’s dharma-instruction discourse, he explains to his listener that ethical recovery is possible: sincere contrition purifies past fault, and a resolute commitment to change safeguards one’s future conduct.
