विमुच्यते चापि स सर्वसंकरै- न चास्य दोषैरभिभूयते मन: । वियोनिजानां च विजानते रुत॑ं ध्रुवां च कीर्ति लभते नरोत्तम:
vimucyate cāpi sa sarva-saṅkaraiḥ na cāsya doṣair abhibhūyate manaḥ | viyonijānāṃ ca vijānate rutaṃ dhruvāṃ ca kīrtiṃ labhate narottamaḥ ||
ຜູ້ນັ້ນຍ່ອມພົ້ນຈາກບາບປະປົນ ແລະ ບາບທີ່ພັນພົວທຸກປະເພດ; ໃຈຂອງເຂົາບໍ່ຖືກຄວາມຜິດພາດຄອບງຳເລີຍ. ຍິ່ງກວ່ານັ້ນ ບຸລຸດຜູ້ປະເສີດນັ້ນຈະເຂົ້າໃຈສຽງຮ້ອງ ແລະ ພາສາຂອງສັດທີ່ເກີດໃນຄັນອື່ນ (ຕ່າງສາຍພັນ) ແລະ ໄດ້ຮັບກຽດສັກສີອັນຖາວອນ ບໍ່ເສື່ອມສູນ.

Educational Q&A
Sustained dharmic conduct (as implied by the surrounding instruction) purifies a person so thoroughly that even complex, entangling sins fall away; the mind becomes steady and not ruled by moral defects, and the person gains lasting good repute—along with extraordinary sensitivity toward other living beings.
Aṅgiras is describing the fruits of a prescribed righteous practice: the practitioner is freed from accumulated moral taints, remains mentally unshaken by faults, gains an uncanny ability to understand the sounds of other species, and attains enduring fame.
