Mereka yang hati dan fikiran terpaut pada objek deria serta menuai buah dosa, menanggungnya melalui penderitaan. Namun segala anugerah tabii yang tuanku dambakan, wahai Raja, lahir hanya daripada puṇya (pahala) yang sempurna.

It contrasts two causal chains: attachment and sin ripen as suffering, while auspicious states and desired prosperity arise from accumulated merit (puṇya), urging a shift from viṣaya-asakti to dharmic living.
By warning that sense-attachment produces duḥkha, it indirectly supports bhakti and remembrance of the Lord as a way to redirect the mind from objects to the divine, generating puṇya and inner purification.
The practical takeaway is karmic discernment (right application of dharma in action): evaluate desires and actions by their results—sin-bound actions yield suffering, while dharmic, merit-producing conduct yields auspicious outcomes.
