Yayāti’s Proclamation: Spreading the Nectar of the Divine Name
All-Vaiṣṇava Gift
यो मामकं वाक्यमिहैव मानवो लोभाद्विमोहादपि नैव कारयेत् । स शास्यतां यास्यति निर्घृणो ध्रुवं ममापि चौरो हि यथा निकृष्टः
yo māmakaṃ vākyamihaiva mānavo lobhādvimohādapi naiva kārayet | sa śāsyatāṃ yāsyati nirghṛṇo dhruvaṃ mamāpi cauro hi yathā nikṛṣṭaḥ
ലോഭത്താലോ മോഹത്താലോ ഇവിടെ തന്നെ എന്റെ ആജ്ഞ നടപ്പാക്കാത്ത മനുഷ്യൻ, ആ നിർദയൻ നിശ്ചയമായി ശിക്ഷിക്കപ്പെടും; അവൻ എനിക്കെതിരെയും നിന്ദ്യനായ കള്ളനെപ്പോലെയാണ്.
Unspecified (verse is framed as an authoritative command by a superior figure; exact speaker not provided in the input)
Concept: Disobedience to righteous command—born of greed and delusion—invites punishment; adharma is theft against the moral order and against the Lord’s representative authority.
Application: Notice where greed or confusion makes you postpone right action; keep commitments; treat ethical obligations as sacred; correct small ‘thefts’ (time, trust, resources) before they harden into character.

FAQs
It warns that refusing to follow a rightful command due to greed or delusion leads to certain punishment, marking the person as morally blameworthy.
Because withholding or violating what is owed to rightful authority (the speaker’s command) is treated like theft—an act of betrayal and moral depravity.
The verse explicitly names lobha (greed) and vimoha (delusion/confusion) as the drivers that lead a person to neglect dharmic instruction.
