sanatsujāta uvāca |
nainaṃ sāmānyṛco vāpi na yajūṃṣi vicakṣaṇa |
trāyante karmaṇaḥ pāpānna te mithyā bravīmyaham || 2 ||
"Sanat-sujata said, 'I tell thee truly that the man that hath not restrained his senses is not rescued from his sinful acts by either the Sama or the Rig, or the Yajus Veda. The Vedas never rescue from sin the deceitful person living by deceit. On the other hand, like newfledged birds forsaking their nest, the Vedas forsake such a person at the end.'
