शुनःसख उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse condemns hypocrisy: sacred status (dvija) and ascetic appearance (parivrāṭ) are meaningless if one neglects obligatory rites like agnihotra and lives driven by desire. Ethical conduct, not mere identity or costume, determines moral consequence.
Śunaḥsakha utters an imprecation against the person who stole ‘your lotus,’ wishing that he remain complacent while committing serious breaches—neglecting agnihotra and behaving licentiously even as a renunciant—thereby incurring the fruits of those sins.
