Shloka 40

भविष्यति च मे दुःखं कृतेनेहाप्पनन्तकम्‌ । महद्‌ दुःखं हि मानुष्यं निरये चापि मज्जनम्‌,यदि इस जन्ममें मैं बुरे कर्म करूँगा तो मुझे यहाँ भी अनन्त दुःख भोगना पड़ेगा। यह मानव-जन्म महान्‌ दुःखसे भरा हुआ है। इसके सिवा पापके फलसे नरकमें भी डूबना पड़ेगा

bhaviṣyati ca me duḥkhaṃ kṛteneha appanantakam | mahad duḥkhaṃ hi mānuṣyaṃ niraye cāpi majjanam ||

اگر میں اسی جنم میں برے کرم کروں تو یہیں مجھے بے انتہا دکھ بھگتنا پڑے گا۔ انسانی جنم واقعی بڑے دکھ سے بھرا ہوا ہے؛ اور اس کے علاوہ پاپ کے پھل سے نرک میں بھی ڈوبنا پڑتا ہے۔

Educational Q&A

Vasiṣṭha emphasizes karmic causality: wrongful actions generate suffering both in this life and, through their ripened results, in the afterlife (hell). The verse urges ethical restraint by highlighting the inevitability of consequences.

In Śānti Parva’s didactic setting, Vasiṣṭha speaks as a moral instructor, warning against sinful conduct by describing the double burden of pain—worldly misery compounded by post-mortem punishment.
