1.17.14

yogināṃ matam etac cen nītir apy avadhāryatām |
udāsīno' rivad varjyaḥ suhṛd ātmaiva sammataḥ || yady eṣa panthā dharmasya so' pi nāsty avicārataḥ |
tatra yad viduṣaḥ siddhir bhaven nāviduṣaḥ kvacit || dharmo vaidika eveṣṭau laukikaḥ kvāpi dṛśyate |
bhavadbhiḥ kas tayor eṣa viśeṣatvena sammataḥ? || [anuṣṭubh]

If this is the view of the yogins, then consider worldly ethics as well: / an indifferent person, like an enemy, should be shunned, whereas a true friend is considered one's very self.
Even if this is the path of dharma, it cannot stand without critical inquiry, / in that success belongs to the wise, never anywhere to the ignorant.
Dharma is seen to be Vedic, while in some sacrifices it is seen to be customary; / which of the two do you consider to be of superior importance?
