Shloka 33
Umā–Maheśvara-saṃvāda: Varṇa-bhraṃśa, Ācāra (Vṛtta), and Karmic Ascent/Decline
वह सौ जन्मोंतक नरकमें पकाया जाता है। ऋषिगण कभी उसके उद्धारका अनुमोदन नहीं करते हैं ।।
saḥ śatajanmāntakaṁ narake pacāyate | ṛṣigaṇāḥ kadācana tasya uddhāram anumodante na || tasmād gāvo na pādena spraṣṭavyā vai kadācana | brāhmaṇaś ca mahātejā dīpyamānas tathānalaḥ ||
达摩说道：“此人要在地狱中被煎煮一百世；诸圣贤从不认可他的解脱。因此，凡求自身福祉、笃守正行者，任何时候都不可用脚触碰——牛、光辉的婆罗门、以及熊熊燃烧的火。我已说明：凡对这三者抬脚相犯者，将遭受何等罪过。”

Educational Q&A
One should never show contempt by touching with the foot what is held sacred—cows, Brahmins, and fire. Disrespect toward these is portrayed as a grave adharma with severe karmic consequences.
Dharma, in a didactic context typical of the Anuśāsana Parva, lays down a rule of conduct and warns of the punishment awaiting those who violate it, emphasizing that even sages do not endorse the offender’s release.
