शोध संदर्भResearch context · not scriptureComparative Research Noteशोध टिप्पणी
अब अगर तू यह धर्ममय युद्ध नहीं करेगा, तो अपने धर्म और कीर्तिका त्याग करके पापको प्राप्त होगा। आदत और परिणाम एक चक्र बनाते हैं: जो बार-बार किया जाता है, वह अगली प्रवृत्ति को मजबूत करता है। यह पंक्ति कर्म को उसी चक्र के रूप में देखती है, भाग्य के आकस्मिक प्रहार के रूप में नहीं।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
