ऊर्ध्वं भित्त्वा प्रतिष्ठन्ते प्राणाः पुण्यवतां नृप। मध्यतो मध्यपुण्यानामधो दुष्कृतकर्मणाम्॥ रज्ञानतुल्यः पुरुषस्य राजन्। येनावृतः कुरुते सम्प्रयुक्तो घोराणि कर्माणि सुदारुणानि॥

The lives of those who are sinful sink into the lowest depths. There is one only enemy (of man) and not another. That enemy is at one with Ignorance, O king. Overwhelmed by it, is led to perpetrate frightful and exceedingly cruel deeds.
