FAQs
Raurava is named as one of the Narakas (hell-realms) described as a consequence for sinful actions; the verse references it as part of a list (“Raurava and others”).
It means a clear, decisive determination of outcomes—i.e., an authoritative statement of the results that actions bring about for living beings.
It underscores moral causality: harmful or sinful conduct has specific consequences, and the text presents these outcomes as knowable and determinable, encouraging ethical restraint.
