कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity

जो दुराचारी, दुर्बुद्धि एवं मूढ़ मनुष्य पशु आदिकी योनिमें मैथुन करते हैं, वे पुरुषोंमें नपुंसक होते हैं ।।

paśūṃś ca ye ghātayanti ye caiva gurutalpagaḥ | prakīrṇa-maithunā ye ca klībā jāyanti te naraḥ ||

Maheshvara tuyên bố rằng những người đàn ông phạm các lỗi lầm nặng nề về tình dục và đạo đức—như khiến việc sát hại súc vật xảy ra, xâm phạm giường của thầy, hoặc buông thả trong quan hệ xác thịt—được nói là sinh ra thành klība (khiếm khuyết/bất lực về tính dục). Câu kệ này là một lời cảnh tỉnh về luân lý: những hành vi trái dharma, nhất là bạo lực và tà dâm, được dạy rằng sẽ trổ quả đau đớn ngay trong thân phận hữu hình.

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches that severe violations of dharma—especially causing animal slaughter, violating the guru’s bed, and promiscuous/illicit sexual conduct—lead to grave karmic consequences, here expressed as being born klība (sexually impaired/impotent).

Śrī Maheśvara is delivering a moral-legal pronouncement within Anuśāsana Parva, listing specific transgressions and stating their adverse result, as part of broader instruction on conduct and the fruits of actions.
