Educational Q&A
Delight in adharma (unrighteous conduct) leads to a degraded mode of existence and suffering; ethical choices shape future births and the capacity for happiness.
Vaiśampāyana delivers a moral statement within the Vana Parva discourse, explaining karmic consequences: those inclined to adharma are said to fall into painful non-human births and fail to attain happiness there.
