आपद्धर्मनिर्णयः — विश्वामित्र-श्वपचसंवादः
Apaddharma Determination: Dialogue of Viśvāmitra and the Śvapaca
अथवा पूर्ववैरं त्वं स्मरन् काल॑ जिहीषसि । पश्य दुष्कृतकर्मस्त्वं व्यक्तमायु:क्षयं तव
athavā pūrvavairaṃ tvaṃ smaran kālaṃ jihīṣasi | paśya duṣkṛtakarmas tvaṃ vyaktam āyuḥkṣayaṃ tava ||
毗湿摩说道：“或者你因追忆旧怨，想在此虚耗光阴？看吧，作恶之人——你的末日已然分明逼近；你的寿命确实正在被消磨殆尽。”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Clinging to old hostility and wasting time in resentment leads to moral downfall; one should recognize the karmic consequences and the urgency of time, since life is steadily being consumed.
Bhishma rebukes an interlocutor, suggesting that the person is lingering in remembrance of an old feud; he warns that such sinful conduct has consequences and that the person’s lifespan is visibly nearing its end.
