You think that you were alone when you committed a sin, but that is not true. My father, the Sage Kaṇva knows of your evil design because of the power of his penance. A person having committed a sin thinks that no one has seen him, but gods see him doing the evil, and his \*antarapuruṣa\* (the soul) sees him doing the evil. - [Previous: c6.s3.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c6.s3.35) - [Next: c6.s3.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c6.s3.37) - [Up: c6.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c6.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c6.s3.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c6.s3.36) · Pramāṇa
