Dāna ethics, lawful wealth, and settling obligations
ततो विमुच्य देवेन्द्र ब्रह्म॒वध्या युधिष्ठिर । यथा विसृष्टं तं वासमगमद् देवशासनात्
tato vimucya devendra brahmavadhyā yudhiṣṭhira | yathā visṛṣṭaṃ taṃ vāsaṃ agamad devaśāsanāt ||
毗湿摩说道:“于是,噢由提施提罗,因陀罗——诸神之王——得以从 brahmahatyā 的污秽中解脱。依天命之法,那罪离去,前往先前所分配的诸处居所。”
भीष्म उवाच
Moral fault binds even the powerful; release from grave sin (brahmahatyā) is not arbitrary but occurs through rightful authority and in accordance with dharma, emphasizing accountability and the ordered process of expiation.
Bhīṣma tells Yudhiṣṭhira that Indra is freed from the personified taint of brahmahatyā, and that the sin, by divine command, departs to the abodes previously allotted to it.
