Adhyaya 14 — The Messenger of Yama Explains Karmic Retribution and the Causes of Naraka Torments
यैः प्रपा-देव-विप्रौको-देवालयसभाः शुभाः ।
भङ्क्त्वा विध्वंसमानिताः क्रोधलोभानुवर्तिभिः ॥
yaiḥ prapā-deva-vipra-uko-devālaya-sabhāḥ śubhāḥ /
bhaṅktvā vidhvaṃsam ānītāḥ krodha-lobhānuvartibhiḥ
जे क्रोध व लोभाने प्रेरित होऊन पाणपोई/जलछत्रे, देव व ब्राह्मणांसाठीची आश्रयगृहे, मंदिरे आणि मंगल सभामंडप फोडून नष्ट करतात—ते दंडित होतात।

Dharma includes protection of common goods and sacred infrastructure. Harming places that sustain society (water, shelter, assembly, worship) is portrayed as a grave societal sin rooted in krodha and lobha.
Dharma-ācāra and phala teaching (social ethics), not sarga/pratisarga/manvantara/vamśa focus.
Temples and prapās symbolize inner supports—faith, nourishment, and community. To destroy them externally reflects inner vandalism of one’s own sattva.
