अत: पापमधर्मश्च यथा दुःखमनुत्तमम् | निकृत्या मूलमेतद्धि येन पापकृतो जना:,लोभसे ही पाप, अधर्म तथा महान् दुःखकी उत्पत्ति होती है। शठता तथा छल- कपटका भी मूल कारण लोभ ही है। इसीके कारण मनुष्य पापाचारी हो जाते हैं
Transliteration
ataḥ pāpam adharmaś ca yathā duḥkham anuttamam | nikṛtyā mūlam etad dhi yena pāpakṛto janāḥ ||
Translation
فلذلك، من الطمع ينشأ الإثمُ واللادارما (adharma)، وكذلك عذابٌ لا يُجارى. إن الطمع حقًّا هو جذرُ الخداع والسلوك المعوجّ؛ وبسببه يصير الناسُ صانعي الشرّ.
