Sanskrit Text

येन खट्वां समारूढः कर्मणानुशयी भवेत् आदितस्तन्न कर्तव्यमिच्छता भवमात्मनः

English Translation

One desirous of what is wholesome, should, from the beginning, avoid that act for which one becomes stretched, as it were, on a bed of thorns and for which one becomes invested with the desires born of the pristine deeds.
