मा चैव त्वं स्तम्भिषु मा च मानिषु मायुक्तयोगीन वदेसि एतत् ।
बाला हि कामेषु सदा प्रमत्ता अजानका धर्मु क्षिपेयु भाषितम् ॥ १११ ॥

mā caiva tvaṃ stambhiṣu mā ca māniṣu māyuktayogīna vadesi etat |
bālā hi kāmeṣu sadā pramattā ajānakā dharmu kṣipeyu bhāṣitam || 111 ||

But do not speak of this matter to haughty persons, nor to conceited ones, nor to Yogins who are not self-restrained; for the fools, always revelling in sensual pleasures, might in their blindness scorn the law manifested.
