मन्यते धर्म एवेति स चाधर्मेण लिप्यते | अग्नयस्तस्य कुप्यन्ति शूद्रयोनिं स गच्छति
manyate dharma eveti sa cādharmeṇa lipyate | agnayastasya kupyanti śūdrayoniṁ sa gacchati ||
সি ভাবে—‘ইয়াই নিশ্চয় ধৰ্ম’; কিন্তু সি অধৰ্মত লিপ্ত হয়। অগ্নিসকলে তাৰ ওপৰত ক্ৰুদ্ধ হয়, আৰু সি শূদ্ৰ-যোনিলৈ যায়।

Educational Q&A
Mistaking an improper act for dharma does not make it righteous; such error still binds one to adharma, offends the sacred fires, and yields harmful karmic results, described here as rebirth in a Śūdra womb.
Dhaugya is instructing about a ‘confidential’ but blameworthy point concerning sacrificial propriety: when people treat mishandling of ritual elements (especially connected with the sacred fires) as acceptable duty, they incur ritual offense and moral fault, leading to negative consequences.
