THE STORY OF AJAMILA
 

 
राजा-
'
दृष्टश्रुताभ्यां यत्पापं जानन्नध्प्यात्मनोऽहितम् ।

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.
