Hari-nāma Mahimā and Caraṇāmṛta: The Redemption of the Hunter Gulika
Uttaṅka Itihāsa
मृगमीनसज्जनानां तृणजलसंतोषविहितवृत्तानाम् । लुब्धकधीवरपिशुना निष्कारणवैरिणो जगति ॥ ३८ ॥
mṛgamīnasajjanānāṃ tṛṇajalasaṃtoṣavihitavṛttānām | lubdhakadhīvarapiśunā niṣkāraṇavairiṇo jagati || 38 ||
Trong đời này, nai, cá và người hiền—những bậc sống theo nếp hạnh chỉ an vui với cỏ và nước—lại có kẻ thù vô cớ: thợ săn, người đánh cá và kẻ gièm pha.

It highlights a Dharma principle: the innocent and contented may still face hostility without cause, so one should cultivate vigilance, compassion, and steadiness rather than bitterness.
Bhakti values simplicity and contentment, yet this verse warns that envy and malice can oppose such purity; devotees should avoid slander, seek sādhusaṅga, and remain fixed in righteous conduct.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is ethical discipline—especially restraint of harmful speech (avoiding piśunatā/slander).
