Sanskrit Text

धनंजय कृतं पापं कल्याणेनोपहन्यते त्यागवांश्च पुनः पापं नालं कर्तुमिति श्रुतिः

English Translation

O Dhananjaya, sin is always expiated by pious acts, by giving wide publicity to it, by repentance, by alms giving, by penances, by sojourn to Tirthas after renunciation of everything, by constant meditation on the scriptures. Of all these, he who has practised renunciation is believed to be incapable of committing fresh sins.
