śrī-rājovāca

dṛṣṭa-śrutābhyāṁ yat pāpaṁ

jānann apy ātmano 'hitam

karoti bhūyo vivaśaḥ

prāyaścittam atho katham

The King said: Though the jīva knows that sinful acts are detrimental by seeing and hearing, he helplessly commits sin again. What is the use of atonement?

Parīkṣit criticizes atonement, saying it is unacceptable, in two verses. One sees a king punishing a criminal and hears about the punishment in hell and understands that sin is not beneficial. It is seen that a person commits that same sin again even after doing the atonement. How does atonement destroy sin? If the sin has been destroyed he will not commit sin again.

|| 6.1.10 ||

kvacin nivartate 'bhadrāt

kvacic carati tat punaḥ

prāyaścittam atho 'pārthaṁ

manye kuñjara-śaucavat

After withdrawing from sin one commits the sin again. I think atonement is useless, like an elephant bathing.

Sometimes in youth one refrains from sin, but again one commits the sin in old age. Therefore atonement is useless. The elephant after bathing dirties himself with dust.

|| 6.1.11 ||

śrī-bādarāyaṇir uvāca

karmaṇā karma-nirhāro

na hy ātyantika iṣyate

avidvad-adhikāritvāt

prāyaścittaṁ vimarśanam

Śukadeva said: Completely counteracting sin is not at all possible by performing atonement, for it is done out of ignorance. Real atonement is attaining jñāna.

By presenting a conclusion, Śukadeva again tests Parīkṣit who has passed the test. By atonement (karmanā) there cannot be complete (ātyantika) destruction of the sin (karma), but quick relief, because of the condition of the jīva who is qualified by ignorance. Sin appears repeatedly because of the presence of the seed of sin, ignorance. The chief atonement is jñāna (vimarśanam), since jñāna removes ignorance. By presenting the opinion of the jñānīs, Śukadeva again tests Parīkṣit.
