Devanagari script
आर्षमप्यत्र पश्यन्ति विकर्मस्थस्य पातनम् | न तादृक्सदृशं किज्चित् प्रमाणं दृश्यते क्वचित्,शास्त्र-विपरीत कर्म करनेवालेको दण्ड देनेकी जो बात आती है, उसमें वे आर्षप्रमाण भी देखते हैं-। ऋषियोंके वचनोंके समान दूसरा कोई प्रमाण कहीं भी दिखायी नहीं देता
Translation
En esto también ven la prueba de los ṛṣi (āṛṣa-pramāṇa) acerca de la caída de quien permanece en actos contrarios a la norma (vikarma). No se ve en parte alguna otro testimonio comparable a la palabra de los sabios.
