Shloka 24
अज्ञान–लोभयोः परस्परहेतुत्वम्
Mutual Causality of Ignorance and Greed
करिष्ये धर्ममेवेति तृतीयात् परिमुच्यते । शुचिस्तीर्थान्यनुचरन् बहुत्वात्परिमुच्यते
kariṣye dharmam eveti tṛtīyāt parimucyate | śucis tīrthāny anucaran bahutvāt parimucyate ||
Śaunaka dit : «En faisant le vœu : “Je ne pratiquerai que le dharma”, un homme est délivré de la troisième rechute du péché. Et celui qui est pur et chemine de tīrtha en tīrtha, vers les lieux sacrés, est affranchi—par leur multitude—des nombreux péchés amassés au fil de maintes occasions.»

Educational Q&A
A firm resolve to live by dharma, together with purity and pilgrimage to sacred tīrthas, is presented as a means of moral and spiritual purification—capable of releasing one from repeated or accumulated wrongdoing.
Śaunaka states a doctrinal point about expiation: taking a vow to follow dharma and undertaking tīrtha-travel while maintaining purity are described as practices that free a person from recurring and numerous sins.
