Educational Q&A
Moral accountability is inescapable: when one’s inner moral witness is not satisfied, the cosmic judge Yama ensures that sinful actions bear their due consequences. The verse links inner ethical failure with external retribution under dharma.
Duṣyanta states a principle of dharmic justice while speaking: a wicked person who does not win the approval of the inner self cannot evade the results of wrongdoing, for Yama punishes the sinner for his misdeeds.
