The verse teaches that kṛtaghnatā (ingratitude) is a serious adharma. Failing to acknowledge and repay benefaction violates moral order and leads to severe retribution, symbolized by punishment in Yama’s realm.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses the king and describes the post-mortem fate of an ungrateful person: after death he enters Yama’s jurisdiction, where Yama’s angry attendants administer a dreadful punishment, serving as a deterrent and moral instruction.
