Verse 37.48
शीलं श्रुतं चापि अथापि संयमं श्रद्धा सती यत्र + + + एकदा ।
नैषा सावद्येन विघातदर्शना तद् इदम् असाधु यद् इदं त्वया कृतं ॥ ४८ ॥
śīlaṃ śrutaṃ cāpi athāpi saṃyamaṃ śraddhā satī yatra + + + ekadā |
naiṣā sāvadyena vighātadarśanā tad idam asādhu yad idaṃ tvayā kṛtaṃ || 48 ||
“Through faith men at times display morality, learning and self-control. But when faith is at fault, has it not the appearance of a destroyer? This that thou dost is not well done. (48)
