Catalog of Transgressions and the Logic of Retribution
परं परमजानन्तो रमन्ते कस्य मायया ॥ क्लिश्यन्ते बहवस्तत्र कृत्वा पापमचेतसः ॥
paraṁ param ajānanto ramante kasya māyayā || kliśyante bahavas tatra kṛtvā pāpam acetasaḥ
लोग भगवान को भगवान नहीं मानते, बस दुनिया के मज़े में लगे हैं। किसी की माया में फंसे हैं, यह समझ नहीं आता। बड़े लोग भी बिना सोचे-समझे पाप करते हैं और फिर दुखी होते हैं।
