30 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे एकोनत्रिंशः सर्गः ॥३-२९॥ खरं तु विरथं रामो गदापाणिमवस्थितम्। मृदुपूर्वं महातेजाः परुषं वाक्यमब्रवीत्॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Araṇya Kāṇḍa, this is the twenty-ninth canto. Then Rāma, of great splendor, spoke harsh words, though preceded by mildness, to Khara, who stood there deprived of his chariot and holding a mace in his hand.
गजाश्वरथसम्बाधे बले महति तिष्ठता। कृतं ते दारुणं कर्म सर्वलोकजुगुप्सितम्॥ २॥
“While you stood in a great army crowded with elephants, horses, and chariots, you committed a dreadful deed, loathed by the whole world.”
उद्वेजनीयो भूतानां नृशंसः पापकर्मकृत् । त्रयाणामपि लोकानामीश्वरोऽपि न तिष्ठति॥ ३॥
You are disturbing to living beings, cruel, and a doer of evil deeds. Even the lord of the three worlds does not remain [secure or unaffected]. The final clause is transmitted in this wording; its precise implied sense is not fully explicit in isolation.
कर्म लोकविरुद्धं तु कुर्वाणं क्षणदाचर। तीक्ष्णं सर्वजनो हन्ति सर्पं दुष्टमिवागतम्॥ ४॥
But, O night-roamer, everyone kills one who performs an act opposed to the world—one fierce like a wicked snake that has come among them.
लोभात् पापानि कुर्वाणः कामाद् वा यो न बुध्यते। हृष्टः पश्यति तस्यान्तं ब्राह्मणी करकादिव॥ ५॥
He who performs sins out of greed or out of desire, and does not understand [their consequences], joyfully beholds his own end, like a brāhmaṇī [bird] beholds the end of a karaka [bird]. The final comparison is transmitted in an elliptical form: करकादिव literally allows “as from a karaka” or “like a karaka”; the intended bird comparison is therefore not entirely certain.
