haraṇaṃ paravittānāṃ paradārābhimarśanam | sāhasānāṃ ca sarveṣāmakāryāṇaāṃ kriyāstathā
دوسروں کے مال کی چوری، پرائی بیوی کی بے حرمتی، اور ہر طرح کی پرتشدد بدکاری—یہ ممنوع اعمال بھی اسی رذیلت سے جنم لیتے ہیں۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta)
Listener: Seekers/householders (implied)
Scene: A moral tableau: a shadowy figure reaching for another’s coins, another scene of illicit approach to a married woman, and a third of reckless violence—overseen by Dharma as a stern guardian; a bright path of restraint contrasts the dark acts.
