घ्नन्ति तानेव दुर्वत्तास्ते वै निरयगामिन: । “गुरुसे विद्या ग्रहण करके जो नराधम उनपर ही चोट करते हैं, वे दुराचारी मानव निश्चय ही नरकगामी होते हैं
ghnanti tāneva durvṛttās te vai nirayagāminaḥ |
Mereka yang berperangai jahat, setelah menerima ilmu dari guru, justru menyerang orang yang sama—mereka itulah yang pasti menuju neraka.
