अनुक्रोशात्मतां तस्य शमीकस्यावधार्य च । पर्यतप्यत भूयो5पि कृत्वा तत् किल्बिषं मुने:,शमीक मुनिकी दयालुता और अपने द्वारा उनके प्रति किये हुए उस अपराधका विचार करके वे अधिकाधिक संतप्त होने लगे
anukrośātmatāṁ tasya śamīkasya avadhārya ca | paryatapyata bhūyo 'pi kṛtvā tat kilbiṣaṁ muneḥ ||
Sa pagninilay sa mahabaging likas ng pantas na si Śamīka at sa pag-alala sa kasalanang nagawa niya laban sa banal na asceta, lalo siyang pinahirapan ng pagsisisi, paulit-ulit at walang humpay.

Educational Q&A
Moral awareness deepens when one recognizes the virtue of the person harmed: realizing a sage’s compassion makes one’s own offense feel heavier, prompting sincere remorse and the impulse toward ethical correction.
After committing an offense against the sage Śamīka, the offender reflects on Śamīka’s compassionate disposition and, through that reflection, becomes increasingly distressed and repentant over the wrongdoing.
