Shloka 31
Gṛhastha-vṛtti and Niyama: Models of Householder Livelihood and Discipline (गृहस्थवृत्ति-नियमाः)
Devanagari script
अधर्म धर्मकामो हि करोति हाविचक्षण: । धर्म वाधर्मसंकाशं शोचन्निव करोति सः
Transliteration
adharma-dharma-kāmo hi karoti hāvicakṣaṇaḥ | dharma vādharmasaṅkāśaṃ śocann iva karoti saḥ ||
Translation
Dijo Vyāsa: El que carece de discernimiento, aun deseando el dharma, comete adharma; y otras veces, como si estuviera sumido en el duelo, realiza lo que parece dharma pero en verdad es afín al adharma. Por falta de visión clara, toma lo errado por justo y, a la inversa, puede tropezar con lo justo aun cuando pretendía lo injusto. Tal obrar confuso, nacido de la ignorancia, ata al ser encarnado a nacimientos y muertes repetidos.
