THE STORY OF AJAMILA
 
दृष्टश्रुताभ्यां यत्पापं जानन्नध्यात्मनोऽहितम् ।
करोति भूयो विवशः प्रायश्चित्तमथो कथम् ॥'
King Parikshit-
66
 
ST
 
Though knowing sin to be harmful
to oneself from (both) the visible (society,
elders and state) and the ethical Institutes
one learns, one (still) commits sin, unable
to control oneself; and of what avail are
expiatory rites then?"
 
श्रीशुकः-
कर्मणा कर्मनिर्हारो न ह्यात्यन्तिक इष्यते ।
अविद्वद्धिकारित्वात् प्रायश्चित्तं विमर्शनम् ॥
 
Suka
 
The annihilation of sin by expiatory
rites is not considered as final; for the ex-
piatory rites are prescribed for those
who are not men of knowledge. Know-
ledge is expiation.
