Educational Q&A
Even in wartime, certain acts are treated as grave adharma; killing one’s teacher is condemned as a deed that destroys one’s claim to auspicious ‘worlds’ (posthumous merit) and brings disgrace upon the family line.
Sañjaya reports that Aśvatthāmā, hearing someone’s unclear words, responds sharply by denouncing the killer of an ācārya and branding the person as a ‘kulapāṃsana’—a disgrace to the lineage.
