तस्मात्‌ पापं न कुर्वीत पुरुष: शंसितव्रत: । पापं प्रज्ञां नाशयति क्रियमाणं पुन: पुन:,इसलिये प्रशंसित व्रतका आचरण करनेवाले पुरुषको पाप नहीं करना चाहिये; क्योंकि बारंबार किया हुआ पाप बुद्धिको नष्ट कर देता है

Transliteration

tasmāt pāpaṁ na kurvīta puruṣaḥ śaṁsitavrataḥ | pāpaṁ prajñāṁ nāśayati kriyamāṇaṁ punaḥ punaḥ ||

Translation

Kaya nga, ang taong tumutupad sa mga panatang karapat-dapat purihin ay hindi dapat gumawa ng kasalanan; sapagkat ang kasalanang inuulit-ulit ay sumisira sa paghatol at pag-unawa.
