सेयमाभ्यन्तरा तुभ्यमापत्‌ कृच्छा स्वकर्मजा । अक्रूरभोजप्रभवा सर्वे होते त्ववन्वया:

seyam ābhyantarā tubhyam āpat kṛcchrā svakarmajā | akrūra-bhoja-prabhavā sarve hote tv-avanvayāḥ ||

நாரதர் கூறினார்—உனக்கு வந்த இந்தக் கடுமையான பேரிடர் உள்ளார்ந்தது; அது உன் சொந்தச் செயல்களால் பிறந்தது. இது அக்ரூரன், போஜன் முதலியோரிடமிருந்து எழுந்தது; நீ பெயரிட்ட அனைவரும் உன் வம்சத்தவரே.

Educational Q&A

The verse stresses moral responsibility: suffering can be ‘internal’—arising from one’s own actions and one’s own family line—so blame should not be projected outward; one must recognize karma and take accountability.

Nārada addresses a ruler/leader facing turmoil and explains that the distress is not an external invasion but a crisis generated within the person’s own lineage, tracing its origin to figures such as Akrūra and Bhoja and emphasizing that those involved are of the same family line.
