And approaching Vrishaparvan where the latter was seated, began to address him without weighing his words, 'O king,' he said, 'sinful acts do not, like the Earth, bear fruit immediately! But gradually and secretly do they extirpate their doers. Such fruit visiteth either in one's own self, one's son, or one's grandson. Sins must bear their fruit. Like rich food they can never be digested. And because ye slew the Brahmana Kacha, the grandson of Angiras, who was virtuous, acquainted with the precepts of religion, and attentive to his duties, while residing in my abode, even for this act of slaughter--and for the mal-treatment of my daughter too, know, O Vrishaparvan, I shall leave thee and thy relatives! Indeed, O king, for this, I can no longer stay with thee! Dost thou, O Asura chief, think that I am a raving liar? Thou makest light of thy offence without seeking to correct it!'. > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 1.75.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.75.2) - [Next: 1.75.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.75.4) - [Up: 1.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.75) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.1.80.2) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Other recensions (2) - [Southern recension](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*southern.1.74.4) — Sanskrit - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.1.80.4) — Sanskrit ## Linked texts (1) - [Matsyapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.29.5) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.75.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.75.3) · Pramāṇa
