Sanskrit Text

व्याजेन चरते धर्ममर्थं व्याजेन रोचते व्याजेन सिध्यमानेषु धनेषु द्विजसत्तम तत्रैव रमते बुद्धिस्ततः पापं चिकीर्षति

English Translation

O foremost of Brahmanas, practising virtue with hypocracy, they remain satisfied in acquiring wealth by dishonourable means. And with the wealth thus acquired, their intelligence becomes attached to the evil ways; they were then filled with the desire to commit sins. O foremost of Brahmanas, when their friends and the learned men remonstrate.
