Harming the innocent is a grave adharma: even if done under pressure or confusion, it brings swift and severe repercussions, as justice (embodied by a powerful authority or moral law) responds to wrongdoing.
Vaiśampāyana addresses a king and frames the ethical stakes of an action: he indicates that striking a blameless person would lead to dreadful consequences, emphasizing restraint and righteous judgment in royal conduct.
