Valmiki Ramayana — Ayodhya Kanda

Verse 75.39

उभे संध्ये शयानस्य यत् पापं परिकल्प्यते। तच्च पापं भवेत् तस्य यस्यार्योऽनुमते गतः॥ यदग्निदायके पापं यत् पापं गुरुतल्पगे। मित्रद्रोहे च यत् पापं तत् पापं प्रतिपद्यताम्॥

ubhe saṃdhye śayānasya yat pāpaṃ parikalpyate| tacca pāpaṃ bhavet tasya yasyāryo'numate gataḥ|| yadagnidāyake pāpaṃ yat pāpaṃ gurutalpage| mitradrohe ca yat pāpaṃ tat pāpaṃ pratipadyatām||

English Meaning

May he that had approved of the exile into the woods of that noble one, come by the demerit that is his who sleeps during both the twilight's! May he reap the sin that is reaped by an incendiary or him that Leith with his preceptor's wife; or him that wrongs his friend!
