na dharmasyāpadeśena pāpaṃ kṛtvā vrataṃ caret
vratena pāpaṃ pracchādya kurvan strīśūdradambhanam //

When he has committed a sin, let him not perform a penance under the pretence (that the act is intended to gain) spiritual merit, (thus) hiding his sin under (the pretext of) a vow and deceiving women and Sudras.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
