Shloka 128
Puṣkara-Śapatha Itihāsa (Agastya–Indra Dispute at the Tīrthas) | पुष्कर-शपथ-आख्यानम्
ज्ञातीनां गृहमध्यस्था सक्तूनत्तु दिनक्षये । अभोग्या वीरसूरस्तु बिसस्तैन्यं करोति या
jñātīnāṁ gṛhamadhyasthā saktūn attu dinakṣaye | abhogyā vīrasūrastu bisastainyaṁ karoti yā ||
毗湿瓦密多罗说：“那偷取莲茎纤维（mṛṇāla/bisā）的女子，当受此罪：虽居家中、处亲族之间，却以耻辱度日，至日暮方食炒粉（sattū）；因染污秽，遂不堪为夫之房中所享；且虽为婆罗门女（brāhmaṇī），却生一子凶猛如战士，性情刚烈，具刹帝利之粗厉气质。”

Educational Q&A
Even seemingly minor theft is treated as adharma that stains one’s social standing and domestic harmony; the verse presents moral causality through consequences affecting reputation, marital life, and offspring.
Viśvāmitra is enumerating the karmic/social penalties assigned to a woman who commits theft of lotus-stalk fibres (bisa/mṛṇāla), describing a life of household disgrace, meagre food, conjugal exclusion, and the birth of a fierce warrior-like son despite her brāhmaṇa status.
