Mohinī-ākhyāna: The Trial of Ekādaśī and the King’s Satya-saṅkalpa
कुकर्मणा पापरतिः कुजातिः सर्वस्य नाशी त्वशुचिस्स मूढः । न मन्यते वेदपुराणशास्त्रानंते पुरीं याति दिनेशसूनोः ॥ ३२ ॥
kukarmaṇā pāparatiḥ kujātiḥ sarvasya nāśī tvaśucissa mūḍhaḥ | na manyate vedapurāṇaśāstrānaṃte purīṃ yāti dineśasūnoḥ || 32 ||
Sa masamang gawa, siya’y nagiging mahilig sa kasalanan, bumabagsak sa abang kalagayan at nagiging tagawasak ng lahat ng kabutihan; marumi at nalilinlang, wala siyang paggalang sa mga Veda, Purāṇa, at mga śāstra. Sa huli, napupunta siya sa lungsod (kaharian) ng anak ng Diyos-Araw—si Yama.

It warns that habitual sinful conduct and contempt for Vedic–Puranic authority leads to inner impurity and spiritual decline, culminating in suffering under Yama’s jurisdiction (a karmic consequence rather than a random fate).
By implication it contrasts irreverence and vice with the dharmic life that supports bhakti—respecting śāstra, cultivating purity (śauca), and abandoning pāpa-rati—without which devotion cannot mature into liberation-oriented practice.
Śāstra-mānya (acceptance of scriptural authority) is emphasized: one should align conduct with Vedic injunctions as preserved in Purāṇas and dharma-śāstras; this supports correct ritual discipline (kalpa) and right understanding (vyākaraṇa/śikṣā as parts of śāstric study) rather than living by impulse.
