Shloka 7
श्रीस्वाच न मां विरोचनो वेद नायं वैरोचनो बलि: । आहहुर्मा दुःसहेत्येवं विधित्सेति च मां विदु:
śakra uvāca | śrīsvāca na māṁ virocano veda nāyaṁ vairocano baliḥ | āhuḥ mā duḥsahety evaṁ vidhitsīti ca māṁ viduḥ ||
ສຣີ (ລັກສະມີ) ກ່າວວ່າ: «ວິໂຣຈະນະບໍ່ຮູ້ຈັກຂ້າແທ້ໆ; ແລະບາລີ ບຸດຂອງວິໂຣຈະນະນີ້ກໍບໍ່ເຂົ້າໃຈຂ້າ. ຜູ້ຄົນເອີ້ນຂ້າວ່າ ‘ຜູ້ທົນບໍ່ໄດ້’; ແລະພວກເຂົາຍັງຮູ້ອີກວ່າ ຂ້າກະທໍາດ້ວຍເຈດຈໍານົງອັນຈົ່ງໃຈ».

Educational Q&A
Mere lineage or reputation does not guarantee true understanding; even powerful figures may misjudge a higher power’s nature and intent. The verse highlights discernment and the ethical weight of purposeful action (vidhitsā) behind outward force.
Indra (Śakra) speaks about being misunderstood by Virocana and Bali. He notes that others describe him as ‘duḥsaha’ (hard to withstand) and recognize that his actions proceed from deliberate intention, setting a tone of strategic, purposeful agency in the surrounding discourse.
