Adhyāya 174: Karma as an inescapable companion (कर्मानुगमन-उपदेश)
तदयं तस्य वचनान्निहतो गौतमेन वै । तेनैवामृतसिक्तश्च पुन: संजीवितो बक:,ब्रह्माजीके उस वचनसे ही गौतमने इनका वध किया और ब्रह्माजीने ही पुनः: अमृत छिड़ककर राजधर्माको जीवन-दान दिया है
tad ayaṃ tasya vacanān nihato gautamena vai | tenaivāmṛtasiktaś ca punaḥ saṃjīvito bakaḥ ||
毗湿摩说：“于是，正因那句话，他确被乔达摩击杀；而又凭同一力量，他再度复生——以甘露洒身——婆迦遂重返生命。”

Speech and moral authority are portrayed as potent forces: a wrongful or fateful utterance can lead to punishment, yet the same higher authority can also restore life, suggesting that dharma includes both justice and compassionate restoration when appropriate.
Bhīṣma recounts that, due to a particular statement, Gautama struck the being down; afterward, through the sprinkling of nectar, Baka was revived and returned to life—linking consequence (death) and reversal (revival) to authoritative intervention.
