ataḥ kartrā tu śāstreṣu sutalābhaḥ praśaṃsitaḥ
prāṇināṃ mohanārthāya narakatrāṇasaṃśrayāt //
The orders of Brahmacharya, &c., are established in their turn to make the world flourish If all were to attain the highest in virtue or vice how would the world prosper? The doctrine that God has ordained in the Śâstras that one should beget progeny to be saved from Hell is simply deluding people—154-155
