Transliteration

ekaḥ kṣamāvatāṃ doṣo dvitīyo nopapadyate | yad enaṃ kṣamayā yuktam aśaktaṃ manyate janaḥ ||

Translation

ବିଦୁର କହିଲେ—କ୍ଷମାଶୀଳମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଦୋଷ ମାତ୍ର ଆରୋପ ହୁଏ; ଦ୍ୱିତୀୟଟି ନାହିଁ: ଯେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ କ୍ଷମାଯୁକ୍ତ, ଲୋକେ ତାକୁ ଅଶକ୍ତ ଭାବନ୍ତି। ଏଭଳି କ୍ଷମାର ଗୁଣକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଜଗତ ପ୍ରାୟ ଦୁର୍ବଳତା ବୋଲି ଭୁଲ ବୁଝେ।
