Shloka 27

Satya–Anṛta Viveka (Discrimination between Truth and Falsehood) | सत्य–अनृत विवेकः

Devanagari script

न कक्षिदस्ति पापानां धर्म इत्येष निश्चय: । तथागतं च यो हन्यान्नासौ पापेन लिप्यते,पापियोंका तो यही निश्चय होता है कि धर्म कोई वस्तु नहीं है; ऐसे लोगोंको जो मार डाले, उसे पाप नहीं लगता

Transliteration

na kaścid asti pāpānāṃ dharma ity eṣa niścayaḥ | tathāgataṃ ca yo hanyān nāsau pāpena lipyate ||

Translation

Sinabi ni Bhīṣma: “Sa mga makasalanan, ito ang tiyak na paniniwala: ‘Walang dharma.’ At kung ang gayong tao’y pumatay kahit ng isang ‘yaong nakarating na sa gayon’—isang ganap at matuwid ang pamumuhay—hindi niya nararamdamang nadungisan siya ng kasalanan. Ganyan ang pagkabulag ng mga tumalikod sa pag-unawa sa tama at mali.”
