कर्णनिधनवृत्तान्तनिवेदनम् | Reporting Karṇa’s Fall to Yudhiṣṭhira
पापेभ्यो हि धनं दत्तं दातारमपि पीडयेत् । जहाँतक वश चले, किसी तरह उन लुटेरोंको धन नहीं देना चाहिये; क्योंकि पापियोंको दिया हुआ धन दाताको भी दुःख देता है ।।
pāpebhyo hi dhanaṃ dattaṃ dātāram api pīḍayet | yāvatakaṃ vaśaṃ cale, kathaṃcid api tān luṭerān dhanaṃ na dātavyaṃ; yato hi pāpiṣu dattaṃ dhanaṃ dātāram api duḥkhayati || tasmād dharmārtham anṛtam uktvā nānṛtabhāg bhavet; etac chrutvā brūhi pārtha yadi vadhyo yudhiṣṭhiraḥ ||
风神婆由说道：“财物施与恶人，终将反噬，连施者亦受其苦。故凡力所能及，切莫将金钱给那些掠夺之徒；因为施与罪人之财，必化作苦难回到施主身上。因此，为达摩之故而说不实之言者，并不分担虚妄之过。既已听明白了，告诉我吧，哦，帕尔塔：难道坚战仍当被杀吗？”

Educational Q&A
The passage distinguishes between harmful giving and righteous speech: giving wealth to the wicked rebounds as suffering for the donor, and speaking an untruth specifically to protect or uphold dharma is presented as not incurring the ordinary moral fault of falsehood.
Vāyudeva addresses Arjuna, offering ethical guidance relevant to the battlefield: avoid empowering wrongdoers, and consider that a strategic untruth aimed at preserving dharma may be morally exempt. He then presses Arjuna to judge whether Yudhiṣṭhira should still be treated as a legitimate target for killing.
