Kāpavya-carita (कापव्यचरित) — Reforming Dasyus through Regulated Rāja-Dharma
Devanagari script
देवताश्न विकर्मस्थं पातयन्ति नराधमम् | व्याजेन विन्दन वित्त हि धर्मात् स परिहीयते,देवता भी विपरीत कर्ममें लगे हुए अधम मनुष्यको नरकोंमें गिराते हैं; अतः जो छलसे धन प्राप्त करता है, वह धर्मसे भ्रष्ट हो जाता है
Transliteration
bhīṣma uvāca | devatāś ca vikarmasthaṃ pātayanti narādhamam | vyājena vindan vittaṃ hi dharmāt sa parihīyate ||
Translation
قال بهيشما: «إن الآلهة تُسقِط إلى الجحيم أحطَّ الناس ممن يصرّ على السلوك الجائر. لذلك فمَن يكتسب المال بالخداع وبالذرائع الباطلة يبتعد عن الدَرْمَا ويُحرَم الاستقامة».
