मायामोह-प्रवर्तन, वेदमार्ग-बहिष्कार, तथा पाषण्ड-संसर्ग-दोषः
Māyāmoha’s Delusion, Rejection of the Vedic Path, and the Fault of Heretical Association
पुंसां जटाधरणमौण्ड्यवतां वृथैव मोघाशिनाम् अखिलशौचनिराकृतानाम् तोयप्रदानपितृपिण्डबहिष्कृतानां संभाषणाद् अपि नरा नरकं प्रयान्ति
puṃsāṃ jaṭādharaṇamauṇḍyavatāṃ vṛthaiva moghāśinām akhilaśaucanirākṛtānām toyapradānapitṛpiṇḍabahiṣkṛtānāṃ saṃbhāṣaṇād api narā narakaṃ prayānti
ଯେଉଁମାନେ ବୃଥାରେ ଜଟା କିମ୍ବା ମୁଣ୍ଡନ ଧାରଣ କରନ୍ତି, ଅକାରଣରେ ଭୋଜନ କରନ୍ତି, ସମସ୍ତ ପବିତ୍ରତା ତ୍ୟାଗ କରିଛନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ପିତୃପୁରୁଷଙ୍କୁ ଜଳ ଓ ପିଣ୍ଡ ଦିଅନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ, ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସହ କଥା ହେଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ ମଣିଷ ନର୍କକୁ ଯାଏ।
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
This verse treats purity not as mere ritual display but as lived discipline; rejecting śauca while keeping external signs of renunciation is portrayed as spiritually dangerous and socially contaminating.
He states that even conversation with those who abandon core duties—like pitṛ offerings and basic purity—can pull others toward negative karmic outcomes, emphasizing vigilance in companionship.
Though not named in the verse, the teaching assumes Vishnu as the upholder of ṛta/dharma; violating dharmic duties disrupts the order sustained by the Supreme, leading to karmic consequence.
