Shloka 12
इन्द्रस्य पाण्डवैः समागमः
Indra’s Meeting with the Pāṇḍavas
अर्थधर्मावनादृत्य यः पापे कुरुते मन: । कर्मणां पार्थ पापानां स फल विन््दते ध्रुवम् । पुनरेवं न कर्तव्यं मम चेदिच्छसि प्रियम्,पार्थ! जो अर्थ और धर्मका अनादर करके पापमें मन लगाता है उसे पापकर्मोका फल अवश्य प्राप्त होता है। यदि तुम वही कार्य करना चाहते हो जो मुझे प्रिय लगे तो आजसे फिर कभी ऐसा काम तुम्हें नहीं करना चाहिये
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca |
arthadharmāv anādṛtya yaḥ pāpe kurute manaḥ |
karmaṇāṃ pārtha pāpānāṃ sa phalaṃ vindate dhruvam |
punar evaṃ na kartavyaṃ mama ced icchasi priyam ||
尤提士提罗说道：“噢，帕尔塔啊，凡轻慢世利与达摩而将心趋向罪恶者，必定要承受恶业之果。若你愿做令我欢喜之事，那么从今日起，切莫再行此等作为。”
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Disregarding both artha (practical welfare) and dharma (righteous duty) and choosing sinful action inevitably brings its karmic consequence; therefore one should restrain the mind and avoid repeating wrongdoing.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Arjuna (Pārtha) in a corrective, elder-brotherly tone, warning him that sinful intentions and acts certainly bear fruit, and urging him—if he values Yudhiṣṭhira’s approval—not to repeat such conduct.
