Adhyāya 174: Karma as an inescapable companion (कर्मानुगमन-उपदेश)
यस्मान्मूढो मम सभां नागतो5सौ बकाधम: । तस्माद् वध स दुष्टात्मा नचिरात् समवाप्स्यति,“वह मूर्ख और नीच बगला मेरी सभामें नहीं आया है; इसलिये शीघ्र ही उस दुष्टात्माको वधका कष्ट भोगना पड़ेगा"
yasmān mūḍho mama sabhāṃ nāgato 'sau bakādhamaḥ | tasmād vadhaṃ sa duṣṭātmā nacirāt samavāpsyati ||
ဘီရှ္မက ပြောသည်– «အဲဒီ မိုက်မဲသော အယုတ်မာ—ကြာငှက်ကဲ့သို့ လိမ်လည်ဟန်ဆောင်သူ—သည် ငါ၏ သဘင်သို့ မလာခဲ့သောကြောင့်၊ ထို မကောင်းသော စိတ်ရှိသူသည် မကြာမီ သေခြင်း၏ ဒုက္ခကို တွေ့ရလိမ့်မည်»။

Educational Q&A
Hypocrisy and moral delusion (appearing virtuous while acting basely) are condemned; such conduct leads to swift downfall and punitive consequences, reflecting the ethical idea that adharma brings its own retribution.
Bhishma remarks that a certain contemptible, hypocritical person did not present himself in Bhishma’s assembly; Bhishma then declares that, as a result, the man will soon meet death—framed as an impending punishment for his wickedness.
