Transliteration
yāni mithyābhiśastānāṁ patanty aśrūṇi rodatām | tāni putrān paśūn ghnanti teṣāṁ mithyābhiśaṁsanāt ||
Translation
Utathya dit : «Les larmes de ceux qui pleurent après avoir été accusés à tort ne tombent pas en vain. Par l’acte même de calomnie et d’imputation mensongère, ces larmes deviennent cause de ruine : elles détruisent les enfants et le bétail des accusateurs. Ainsi, la fausse accusation se retourne contre le coupable avec de lourdes conséquences.»
