Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Cultivating nirveda (disenchantment/dispassion) leads a person to relinquish pāpa-karma (sinful conduct); inner moral awakening becomes the basis for ethical transformation.

What is happening in the narrative?

The Vyādha (hunter) continues his instruction on dharma, explaining that when a person develops genuine disenchantment, they naturally give up sinful actions.
