Does this not contradict what is known as the 'nigraha-sankalpa'
of Bhagavaan? That is to say literally, does this not deny
His will to "punish" (nigraha) the errant jIva through the
instrument of karma?

Is it not an exaggeration to say that Bhagavaan never punishes?
I don't believe Sri Ramanuja would agree with that conclusion.
