कथं न ज्ञेयमस्माभिः पापादस्मान्निवर्तितुम् | कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं प्रपश्यद्भिर्जनार्दन
kathaṃ na jñeyamasmābhiḥ pāpādasmānnivartitum . kulakṣayakṛtaṃ doṣaṃ prapaśyadbhirjanārdana
賈納爾丹那啊，儘管那些心智被貪婪蒙蔽的人，看不見毀滅家族的罪惡和背叛朋友的罪過，然而，我們這些清楚看見毀滅家族所帶來的罪惡之人，又怎能不知道如何避開此等罪行呢？
1.39 O Janardana, although these people, whose hearts have become perverted by greed, do not see the evil arising from destroying the family and sin in hostility towards, friends, yet how can we who clearly see the evil arising from destroying the family remain unaware of (the need of) abstaining from this sin?
法律上的無知不能作為藉口，而肆意妄為的罪惡行為更是重罪，對於我們這些有智慧的人來說，是極不相稱的。
Ignorance of law is no excuse but wanton sinful conduct is a grave crime? unworthy of us? who are wiser.
