सर्वेष्वेव सुपुण्येषु कर्मस्वेवं सपुण्यवान् । योजयत्येव धर्मात्मा तस्य दोषो न दृश्यते
sarveṣveva supuṇyeṣu karmasvevaṃ sapuṇyavān | yojayatyeva dharmātmā tasya doṣo na dṛśyate
یوں جو نیک بخت اور دین دار شخص تمام نہایت ثواب والے اعمال میں اخلاص سے لگتا ہے، اس راست باز کی کوئی خطا دکھائی نہیں دیتی۔

FAQs
It teaches that one who consistently engages in highly meritorious, dharmic actions is not considered blameworthy; righteousness safeguards one from fault.
No. It emphasizes that sustained commitment to supuṇya (especially righteous) deeds leaves no grounds for moral blame in the sense intended here—i.e., one’s conduct is not seen as culpable.
Continual alignment with dharma—choosing actions that are clearly wholesome and beneficial—builds moral clarity and reduces the likelihood of blameworthy conduct.
