वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches karmaphala: causing others’ separation (a harmful ethical act) ripens later as one’s own experience of separation and sorrow, even across rebirths, because deeds accumulate as latent karmic seeds.
The speaker explains present grief as the consequence of past wrongdoing—specifically, having broken the union of couples in a previous life—thereby framing the current suffering as morally intelligible within the Mahābhārata’s karmic worldview.
