Educational Q&A

Publicly condemned, socially destructive conduct (nindita-karman) places a person outside the protection of communal norms; such a person is regarded as deserving severe punishment, even death, to uphold dharma and social order.

Sañjaya addresses the king (implicitly Dhṛtarāṣṭra) and states a general moral-legal principle: one who persists in universally censured behavior becomes liable to the harshest retribution in the eyes of all people.
