Educational Q&A
Vices inevitably lead to a person’s ruin; therefore one should deliberately and consistently keep away from them, not merely resist them when they arise.
The sage Chyavana is instructing a king in moral discipline, concluding a warning that certain दोषाः (faults) bring निश्चित विनाश (certain destruction) and must be avoided from a distance.
