एतद्वचो नेच्छसि पापरूपे हितं न जानासि ममात्मनोऽथवा। आस्थाय मार्ग कृपणं कुचेष्टा चेष्टा हि ते साधुपथादपेता॥
etadvaco necchasi pāparūpe hitaṃ na jānāsi mamātmano'thavā| āsthāya mārga kṛpaṇaṃ kuceṣṭā ceṣṭā hi te sādhupathādapetā||
English Meaning
O Personation of sin, you relish not this speech. You know not either your own good or mine. This wicked endeavour of yours, O you that strive after harm, which you put forth adopting a narrow path, is surely divorced from the course of the good.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
