1.5.15

jugupsitaṃ dharmakṛte 'nuśāsataḥ svabhāvaraktasya mahān vyatikramaḥ /
yadvākyato dharma itītaraḥ sthito na manyate tasya nivāraṇaṃ janaḥ //

15. A great mistake has arisen on your part while expounding (the courses of) Dharma, in teaching what should be avoided (i.e. Kamya Karma and other things) to the man who is naturally attached to worldly objects; for the man who is other than the wisest, is guided by your exposition and would believe it to be Dharma and stick to it, and cannot understand that it is prohibited.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
