ພະວາຍຸກ່າວວ່າ: «ເຈົ້າໄດ້ໃຫ້ພິດແກ່ພີມເສນ; ແລະດ້ວຍເຫດນັ້ນ ພານດະວະທັງໝົດກໍຕົກຢູ່ໃນອັນຕະລາຍ»។

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that adharma often manifests as covert violence—such as poisoning—and that harming the righteous through deceit endangers not only the immediate victim but the moral order itself, inviting eventual karmic and social consequences.
Vāyudeva speaks, recalling that poison was administered to Bhīmasena, an act that threatened the Pāṇḍavas as a whole. It evokes earlier hostility and deceit directed at the Pāṇḍava brothers, framing present events against a backdrop of long-standing enmity.
