अभक्ष्यभक्षणरता निर्मर्यादा हतत्विष: । दैत्यगण कृतघ्न
abhakṣyabhakṣaṇaratā nirmaryādā hatatviṣaḥ | daityagaṇāḥ kṛtaghnā nāstikāḥ pāpācāriṇaḥ tathā gurupatnīgāminaḥ abhavan |
Wika ni Śakra: “Ang mga pangkat ng Dānava ay nalulong sa pagkain ng mga bagay na hindi dapat kainin. Itinakwil nila ang pagpipigil sa sarili at, sa paglabag sa hanggahan ng dharma, kumikilos ayon sa nais; kaya naglaho ang kanilang ningning. Naging mga walang utang-na-loob, walang pananampalataya, at sanay sa kasalanan—maging ang kabanalan ng asawa ng guro ay nilapastangan pa nila.”

Educational Q&A
Indra links inner moral collapse to outward loss of splendor: when beings violate dharma—through forbidden consumption, lawlessness, ingratitude, disbelief, and grave sexual transgression—they become ‘hatatviṣ’, deprived of radiance. Ethical restraint (maryādā) is presented as the basis of dignity and power.
Śakra (Indra) describes the Daitya hosts as having fallen into adharma. He lists their corrupt behaviors—eating forbidden things, rejecting moral boundaries, becoming ungrateful and irreligious, and committing the extreme offense of approaching the guru’s wife—and explains that this is why they have lost their brilliance.
