Sin
Moral transgression before a personal God. Note for reviewers: dharmaśāstra literature (e.g. Manusmṛti) catalogues specific sins alongside specific ritual atonements (prāyaścitta); this curriculum must guard against पापम् being read as a category resolved through prescribed ritual penance rather than through Christ’s atoning work.
