Mahabharata Shanti Parva – तर्ष छेदॊ न भवति पुरुषस्येह कल्मसात

Shloka (श्लोक)

तर्ष छेदॊ न भवति पुरुषस्येह कल्मसात
निवर्तते तथा तर्षः पापम अन्तं गतं यथा

⚡ Quick Meaning

The urge for desires does not cease from impurities, rather it diminishes much like sin ultimately fades away.

Translations

English Translation

This shloka indicates that the thirst for desire does not extinguish through tainted actions; instead, it reduces over time, similar to how sins culminating in regret eventually dissipate from conscious memory. It highlights the importance of purification.

हिंदी अनुवाद

यह श्लोक बताता है कि इच्छाओं की तृष्णा असूचिता के कार्यों से समाप्त नहीं होती; बल्कि यह समय के साथ कम होती है, ठीक उसी तरह जैसे पाप जो अंततः खेद में समाप्त होते हैं, धीरे-धीरे व्यक्तिगत स्मृति से मिट जाते हैं।
