What types of karma, O Lord! are bound by one who deliberately makes false fanciful allegations on an other person? Gautama! One who delibeately makes false fanciful allegations on another person binds like types of karma. He undergoes the fruition of those karma where he is born; afterwards, he wears them off.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 148
A law of the doctrine of karma has been propounded in the present Sūtra. The law is: The bondage of karma is akin to the action and so is its effect (fruition). One who deliberately makes false allegation is himself meted out with false allegation in future. There is an echo of the proverb, viz., "what you sow, so shall you reap." There are two ways of purging of karma--
1. Expiation
2. Undergo its fruition. Here, however, only the former is described. Semantics alika—false. asadbhūta—to create fanciful allegation. E.g., to call a non-thief a thief. abhyākhyāna-make (false) allegation; to make public the faults of others (falsely). abhyākhyāti—to deliberately make (false) allegation. abhisanāgacchati-takes birth (at).
