Sanskrit Text
अपापवादी
भवति
यदा
भवति
धर्मवित्
।
धर्मस्य
निष्ठा
स्वाचारस्तमेवाश्रित्य
भोत्स्यसे
॥
English Translation
Some hold that sinful wights can never be purged of their sins. In times of difficulty a person by even speaking an untruth acquires the merit of speaking the truth. So a person who performs a sinful act acquires by that very means the merit of having done a pious act. Conduct is the refuge of righteousness. Helped by it you should know what righteousness is.
