Shloka 6
युधिष्ठिरस्य नगरप्रवेशः — चार्वाकप्रकरणं
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Entry into the City and the Cārvāka Episode
स तु लब्धवर: पापो देवानमितविक्रम: । राक्षसस्तापयामास तीव्रकर्मा महाबल:,वर पाकर वह अमित पराक्रमी महाबली और दु:ःसह कर्म करनेवाला पापात्मा राक्षस देवताओंको संताप देने लगा
sa tu labdhavaraḥ pāpo devān amitavikramaḥ | rākṣasas tāpayāmāsa tīvrakarmā mahābalaḥ ||
Namun rākṣasa yang berdosa itu, setelah memperoleh anugerah dan memiliki keperkasaan yang tiada terukur, mula menyeksa para dewa. Perkasa lagi keras tindakannya, dia menggunakan kuasa yang diraihnya bukan untuk menahan diri atau menegakkan dharma, tetapi untuk mengazab tatanan ketuhanan.

Educational Q&A
Power gained through boons or merit becomes ethically meaningful only when governed by dharma; when joined with pāpa (sinful intent), it turns into a force that harms others and destabilizes the rightful order.
Vāyudeva describes a boon-granted, immensely powerful Rākṣasa who, instead of exercising restraint, begins to oppress and torment the devas through fierce and intolerable actions.
