Sanskrit Text
प्रध्वस्ता
न
निवर्तन्ते
निवृत्तिर्नोपलभ्यते
।
प्रत्यक्षेण
परोक्षं
तदनुमानेन
सिध्यति
॥
English Translation
Some say that the qualities of such men are not lost. Some say that they are all lost. Those who say that they are not lost rely upon the Shrutis, which do not contain any declaration to the contrary. They, however, who say, that the qualities are all lost rely on the Smritis. One should taking into consideration both these opinions, judge as to which of them is right.
