Shloka 30
मोक्षोपाय-निर्णयः
Determination of the Means to Liberation
यत्र वै पापकृन्नीचो न महद् दुःखमर्च्छति । वर्धन्ते तत्र पापानि धर्मो हसति च ध्रुवम्,जहाँ पाप करनेवाले नीचको महान् दुःख नहीं भोगना पड़ता है, वहाँ निश्चय ही पाप बढ़ता है और धर्मका हास होता है
yatra vai pāpakṛn nīco na mahad duḥkham arcchati | vardhante tatra pāpāni dharmo hasati ca dhruvam ||
Kung saan ang hamak na gumagawa ng kasalanan ay hindi napapasan ang mabigat na pagdurusa, doon tiyak na dumarami ang kasamaan at ang dharma ay nilalait at humihina. Nagbababala ang taludtod na kapag ang maling gawa ay hindi napaparusahan, guguho ang kaayusang moral at lalakas ang loob ng bisyo.

Educational Q&A
If wrongdoers do not face serious consequences, wrongdoing spreads and dharma loses authority; justice and accountability are necessary to sustain moral order.
Humatsena states a general principle about society and rule: when a sinful, ignoble person escapes suffering or punishment, it emboldens further sin and causes dharma to be ridiculed and weakened.
