yadi daṇḍaḥ spṛśate puṇyabhājaṃ pāpaiḥ pāpe kriyamāṇe'viśeṣāt |
kasya hetoḥ sukṛtaṃ nāma kuryādduṣkṛtaṃ vā kasya hetorna kuryāt || 22 ||
"Aila said, 'If chastisement touches all viz., the honest and the wicked alike, in consequence of the sins perpetrated by the sinful, why should men, in that case, do acts that are good? Indeed, why should they not perform wicked acts?'
