Shloka 183
शीलवृत्तमविज्ञाय धास्यामि विनयं परम् | तुम्हारे मूर्ख पिताको भी मैं जला दूँगा, जो तुम्हारे इस अन्यायको नहीं जानता है तथा जिसने तुम्हारे शील और सदाचारको जाने बिना ही मन्त्रका उपदेश दिया है, उस ब्राह्मणको भी अच्छी सीख दूँगा
śīlavṛttam avijñāya dhāsyāmi vinayaṃ param |
「その人の品性と行いを見極めぬまま、わたしは最も苛烈な懲戒を加える。此の不義を悟らぬ愚かな父は焼き尽くし、受ける者の徳と振る舞いを弁えずに真言を授けたその婆羅門にも、しかと教訓を与えよう。」

Educational Q&A
Instruction and power must be exercised with discernment: one should first ascertain a person’s character and conduct before granting sacred knowledge or authority, and one must not ignore injustice; negligence in these matters invites severe moral accountability.
Sūrya speaks in anger, announcing harsh corrective action: he threatens to burn an ignorant father who does not recognize the injustice involved, and to reprimand the Brahmin who taught a mantra without first judging the recipients’ true virtue and behavior.
