Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
FAQs
This verse frames sin as threefold—arising through speech, thought, and action—showing that ethical discipline must be comprehensive, not merely external.
Parāśara attributes repeated sin to being ‘overpowered’ by doṣas; lack of discernment (alpamedhas) leads to habitual, daily wrongdoing rather than occasional lapses.
By highlighting persistent human frailty, the passage implicitly supports the Purāṇic stance that sustaining dharma ultimately requires aligning oneself with Vishnu as the supreme stabilizing reality and refuge.
