Shloka 9
प्रलय-प्रक्रिया (Pralaya Process) — Guṇa-Withdrawal and Pratisaṃcara
शक्र उवाच किमिदं त्वं मम कृते उताहो बलिन: कृते । दुःसहे विजहास्थेनं चिरसंवासिनी सती
śakra uvāca: kim idaṃ tvaṃ mama kṛte utāho balinaḥ kṛte? duḥsahe vijahāsi sthenaṃ cirasaṃvāsinī satī.
释迦罗（因陀罗）说道：“这是怎么回事——你离开你的居处，是为我，还是为婆利？噢，杜赫萨哈！你久居于婆利王之身；如今你离他而去，是为我的利益，还是为他的福祉？”
शक्र उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames an ethical question about motive: whether an action (leaving a long-held ‘abode’) is done for one party’s advantage or another’s welfare. It highlights dharmic scrutiny of intention—benefit, loyalty, and the moral weight of choosing between competing हित (welfare) claims.
Indra (Śakra) addresses Duḥsahā, who has long resided in King Bali’s body, and asks why she is departing now—whether her departure is meant to help Indra or to serve Bali’s own good.
