Shloka 68
Adhyāya 208: Aṅgirasī-kanyāḥ
Enumeration of Aṅgiras’ daughters and attribute-names
Devanagari script
ये तु धर्मानसूयन्ते बुद्धिमोहान्विता नरा: । अपथा गच्छतां तेषामनुयाता च पीड्यते,जो मनुष्य बुद्धिमोहसे युक्त होकर धर्ममें दोष देखते हैं वे स्वयं तो कुमार्गगामी होते ही हैं, उनके पीछे चलनेवाला मनुष्य भी कष्ट पाता है
Transliteration
ye tu dharmān asūyante buddhimohānvitā narāḥ | apathā gacchatāṁ teṣām anuyātā ca pīḍyate ||
Translation
But those men who, deluded in their understanding, find fault with dharma—such people themselves stray onto a wrong path; and even the one who follows after them is afflicted and comes to grief. The hunter warns that contempt for righteousness misleads not only the critic but also anyone who takes such a person as a guide.
