Vivāha-dharma: Kanyā-pradāna, Śulka, and Pāṇigrahaṇa-niṣṭhā (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय ४४)
विपुल उवाच अजितेन्द्रिय दुर्बुद्धे पापात्मक पुरन्दर । न चिरं पूजयिष्यन्ति देवास्त्वां मानुषास्तथा
vipula uvāca | ajitendriya durbuddhe pāpātmaka purandara | na ciraṁ pūjayiṣyanti devās tvāṁ mānuṣās tathā ||
ວິປຸລະກ່າວວ່າ: “ໂອ້ ພຸຣັນດະຣະ, ເຈົ້າມີໃຈບາບ ປັນຍາບິດເບືອນ ແລະບໍ່ອາດຊະນະອິນທຣີຂອງຕົນ. ຖ້າເຈົ້າຍັງຢູ່ໃນສະພາບນີ້ ເທວະດາ ແລະມະນຸດກໍຈະບໍ່ນັບຖືບູຊາເຈົ້າໄດ້ດົນ.”

Educational Q&A
Honor and authority are sustained by inner discipline: one who cannot restrain the senses and acts from a sinful disposition loses the reverence of both gods and humans. Ethical self-mastery is presented as the foundation of lasting esteem.
Vipula directly rebukes Purandara (Indra), calling out his lack of self-control and corrupt judgment, and warns him that continued misconduct will cause both divine and human beings to withdraw their worship and respect.
