kiṃ citraṃ yadi rūpayauvanavatī sādhvī bhavetkāminī taccitraṃ yadi nirdhano 'pi puruṣaḥ pāpaṃ na kuryātkracit //
What wonder if a brāhmaṇa skilled in grammar and treatises becomes learned? What wonder if a king skilled in statecraft becomes righteous? / What wonder if a passionate woman endowed with beauty and youth is faithful? The wonder is if a poor man never commits a sin.
