upakrāmati jantūṁś ca udveṣa-jananaḥ sadā | evaṁ-śīla-samācāro nirayaṁ pratipadyate ||
ಯಾರು ಜೀವಿಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ದಾಳಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಸದಾ ದ್ವೇಷವನ್ನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿಸುತ್ತಾನೋ—ಅಂತಹ ಸ್ವಭಾವ-ಆಚಾರವಿರುವವನು ನರಕವನ್ನು ಸೇರುತ್ತಾನೆ.

Educational Q&A
Persistent aggression toward living beings and the habitual creation of hatred are condemned as adharma; such a person’s character (śīla) and conduct (samācāra) lead to severe karmic retribution, described here as falling into niraya (hell).
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing about moral causality: he identifies a type of wrongdoer—one who harms creatures and provokes enmity—and states the consequence that follows from such sustained behavior.
