क्षान्त्या शुध्यन्ति विद्वांसो दानेन-अकार्यकारिणः । [म्शुद्ध्यन्ति] प्रच्छन्नपापा जप्येन तपसा वेदवित्तमाः ॥
kṣāntyā śudhyanti vidvāṃso dānena-a.kāryakāriṇaḥ | [M.śuddhyanti] pracchanna.pāpā japyena tapasā vedavittamāḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The learned are purified by a forgiving disposition, those who have committed forbidden actions by liberality, secret sinners by muttering (sacred texts), and those who best know the Veda by austerities.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
