Shloka 33
कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity
लोष्टै: स्तम्भैरायुधैर्वा जन्तून् बाधति शोभने । हिंसार्थ निकृतिप्रज्ञ: प्रोद्ेजयति चैव ह
loṣṭaiḥ stambhair āyudhair vā jantūn bādhati śobhane | hiṃsārthaṃ nikṛtiprajñaḥ prodejayati caiva ha ||
Maheshvara nói: “Hỡi người đẹp, kẻ trí hiểu lệch lạc quấy nhiễu các loài hữu tình—dù bằng cục đất, bằng gậy hay cột, hoặc bằng vũ khí. Mang ý định hại người, hắn cố ý khiêu khích và xúi giục bạo lực.”

Educational Q&A
Deliberately harming creatures—whether with crude objects or weapons—and provoking conflict is a mark of a corrupted, malicious intellect; such conduct is ethically blameworthy and opposed to dharma.
Śrīmaheśvara addresses a woman (“O fair one”) and describes the behavior of a cruel person: he injures living beings using whatever means available and actively incites violence, highlighting the moral fault in such aggression.
