Śṛṅgī’s Curse on King Parikṣit
Parikṣit–Śṛṅgī–Takṣaka Causal Link
दर्शयन्तो बहून् दोषानू प्रेत्य चेह च दारुणान् । हेतुभि: कारणैश्वैव यथा यज्ञो भवेन्न सः,“हम युक्तियों और कारणोंद्वारा यह दिखायेंगे कि उस यज्ञसे इहलोक और परलोकमें अनेक भयंकर दोष प्राप्त होंगे; इससे वह यज्ञ होगा ही नहीं
darśayanto bahūn doṣān pretya ceha ca dāruṇān | hetubhiḥ kāraṇaiś caiva yathā yajño bhaven na saḥ ||
ရှေရှက ပြောသည်—«အကြောင်းပြချက်များနှင့် ယုတ္တိများဖြင့် ဤယဇ္ဉသည် ယခုဘဝ၌လည်း၊ သေပြီးနောက်၌လည်း ကြောက်မက်ဖွယ် အပြစ်အနာဂတ်များစွာကို ဖြစ်စေမည်ဟု ငါတို့ ပြသမည်။ ထို့ကြောင့် ထိုယဇ္ဉသည် မဖြစ်နိုင်တော့»။

Educational Q&A
That an act called a yajña must be evaluated by its consequences and moral coherence: if it produces grave harms in this life and the next, reasoned analysis can show it is not a legitimate dharmic sacrifice.
Śeṣa declares an intention to refute a proposed yajña by presenting logical reasons and causal arguments, emphasizing that the undertaking would lead to severe faults both here and after death, and therefore should not proceed as a true sacrifice.
