अधर्मं धर्मवेषेण यद्यहं लोकसंकरम्। अभिपत्स्ये शुभं हित्वा क्रियां विधिविवर्जिताम्॥ कश्चेतयानः पुरुषः कार्याकार्यविचक्षणः। बहु मन्येत मां लोके दुर्वृत्तं लोकदूषणम्।७।।
adharmaṃ dharmaveṣeṇa yadyahaṃ lokasaṃkaram| abhipatsye śubhaṃ hitvā kriyāṃ vidhivivarjitām|| kaścetayānaḥ puruṣaḥ kāryākāryavicakṣaṇaḥ| bahu manyeta māṃ loke durvṛttaṃ lokadūṣaṇam|7||
English Meaning
If I adopt this unrighteous course, calculated to produce confusion of castes, and do acts not recognized by scripture, I shall, renouncing good, have to reap only evil. Then what man possessed of consciousness and capable of discriminating between right and wrong, shall honour me, given to wicked ways and deserving of universal reprehension?
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
