Commenting on Srimad Bhagavatam verse 1-7-16

Sri Sridhar Swami says:

 

" DharmaShAstra says:

 

agnido garadashchaiva

shastrapANir dhanApahH

kshetradArA haraischava

shhadete hi AtatAyinah

 

an arsonist,

one give poison to other,

one who attacks with weapon on another who has no weapon, one who steals another's money,

one who illegally possesses another's land, and

one who kidnaps another's wife;

 

these six are AtatAyis."

 

Srimad Bhagavatam verse 1-7-54:

"Krishna says: ..It is proper to kill an AtatAyi."
