Here the curse comes to its end, the sage dies, and Pandu is overwhelmed with grief. His final words are telling: 'as you cast me from happiness into grief, so happiness will turn to grief for you' -- the law of retribution stated as an exact symmetry. Here the mirroring nature of karma is revealed: what is done returns wearing the same face. Pandu's immediate grief is telling too: he does not harden himself or go on justifying his act, but is broken by sorrow -- the mark of a noble soul capable of repentance. This grief will become the turning point of his life: from it will come renunciation, penance, and withdrawal from the world, as the next chapter will tell. Thus scripture closes the story of the fatal deed: the sin is done, the curse pronounced, and a righteous heart, having known its guilt, turns to repentance. In Pandu's tragedy lies a lesson: that even an unwitting sin bears its fruit, but that meeting it with contrition opens the path to purification.
