Translation

ကശ്യပ မဟာရိရှီက မိန့်တော်မူသည်—“သားရေ၊ မရူးမိုက်စွာ အလွန်အကျွံ မလုပ်နှင့်။ မဟုတ်လျှင် ချက်ချင်း ကြီးမားသောဒုက္ခသို့ ကျရောက်လိမ့်မည်။ နေရောင်ခြည်ကို သောက်သုံးသူ ဝါလခိလျာ ရိရှီတို့ကို မနှိုးဆော်နှင့်။ သူတို့ ဒေါသထွက်လျှင် သင့်ကို ပြာဖြစ်အောင် မီးရှို့နိုင်သည်”။

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Reckless action invites immediate suffering; ethical restraint and respect toward powerful ascetics are essential, since their anger—born of tapas—can bring swift consequences.

What is happening in the narrative?

Kashyapa cautions his son against a rash deed and warns that the Vālakhilya sages, famed as ‘drinkers of the Sun’s rays,’ if provoked, may incinerate him in their wrath.
