Mahabharata — Shanti Parva, Shloka 14
अध्याय १५२: लोभः पापस्य मूलम् — Greed as the Root of Wrongdoing
Devanagari script
तद् वै पारत्रिकं तात ब्राह्मणानामकुप्यताम् | अथवा तप्यसे पापे धर्ममेवानुपश्य वै
Translation
ਤਾਤ! ਕ੍ਰੋਧ-ਰਹਿਤ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਲਈ ਜੋ ਕੁਝ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਪਰਲੋਕ ਦੇ ਲਾਭ ਦਾ ਹੀ ਕਾਰਨ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਅਤੇ ਜੇ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਪਾਪ ਲਈ ਪਛਤਾਵਾ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਸਦਾ ਧਰਮ ਵੱਲ ਹੀ ਦ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀ ਰੱਖ।
