Adhyaya 13 — The Son’s Account of Hell and the Question of Unseen Sin
पुरुष उवाच
भो याम्यपुरुषाचक्ष्व किं मया दुष्कृतं कृतम् ।
येनॆदं यातनाभीमं प्राप्तोऽस्मि नरकं परम् ॥
puruṣa uvāca bho yāmya-puruṣācakṣva kiṃ mayā duṣkṛtaṃ kṛtam | yenedaṃ yātanābhīmaṃ prāpto 'smi narakaṃ param
ထိုသူက ပြော၏— «အို ယမမင်း၏ အမှုထမ်းရေ၊ ငါ့ကို ပြောပါ။ ငါသည် မည်သည့် မကောင်းမှုကို ပြုခဲ့သဖြင့် ဤဒဏ်ခတ်နာကျင်မှုများပြည့်သော ကြောက်မက်ဖွယ် နရကသို့ ရောက်လာရသနည်း»

The verse models ethical introspection: rather than denying or blaming, one asks what action produced the result—an essential Purāṇic method for dharma-teaching.
Dharma instruction through narrative dialogue; not directly Sarga/Pratisarga/Vaṃśa/Manvantara/Vaṃśānucarita, though it may be embedded within a larger vaṃśānucarita storyline.
The question ‘what did I do?’ is the awakening of buddhi within suffering—pain becomes the catalyst for discernment (viveka).
