Naraka-varṇana: The Hellish Planets and the Karmic Logic of Punishment
यस्त्विह वा एतदहमिति ममेदमिति भूतद्रोहेण केवलं स्वकुटुम्बमेवानुदिनं प्रपुष्णाति स तदिह विहाय स्वयमेव तदशुभेन रौरवे निपतति ॥ १० ॥
yas tv iha vā etad aham iti mamedam iti bhūta-droheṇa kevalaṁ sva-kuṭumbam evānudinaṁ prapuṣṇāti sa tad iha vihāya svayam eva tad-aśubhena raurave nipatati.
一个把身体当作自我的人,为了金钱日夜辛苦工作,以维持自己以及妻儿的身体。在为维持自己和家庭而工作时,他可能会对其他众生施加暴力。这样的人在死时被迫放弃他的身体和家庭,因他对其他生物的嫉妒而遭受报应,被投入名为Raurava的地狱。
In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam it is said:
This verse states that identifying with “I” and “mine” can drive a person to harm other beings for personal and family maintenance, and such sinful acts lead to suffering—specifically a fall into Raurava hell.
Śukadeva explains the consequences of sinful, exploitative living so that King Parīkṣit (and listeners) develop detachment from wrongdoing and cultivate dharma and devotion instead of selfish violence.
Earn and maintain family life without harming others, reduce exploitation, practice compassion toward all beings, and consciously remember that everything belongs to the Lord—replacing possessiveness with stewardship and devotion.
