वैशम्पायन उवाच

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores the ethical consequence of grievous wrongdoing: one may be cut off from human fellowship and forced into lonely, unsupported wandering. Social connection and support are presented as moral goods that can be forfeited through adharma.

Vaiśampāyana reports a pronouncement of punishment: the addressed person is foretold to be unable to find companionship or even basic conversation anywhere, and to roam through deserted places without aid—an image of exile and social-spiritual abandonment in the post-war aftermath.
