विरुद्धानीह शास्त्राणि ये पश्यन्ति कुरूद्वह । विधित्सा जायते तेषां तत्त्वज्ञानान्निवर्तते
Translation
O pinakadakila sa angkan ng Kuru! Yaong mga tumitingin sa mga śāstra na salungat sa Dharma, sa kanilang loob ay sumisibol ang “vidhitsā”—ang pagnanasang gumawa ng di-matuwid na gawa. Ngunit ito’y napapawi sa pamamagitan ng kaalaman sa tunay na diwa (tattva-jñāna).
