न पापकर्मं करि हीनबुद्धिः ज्ञानं तु ज्ञात्वा परमं विशिष्टो ।
करोति दिव्यं शुभप्रेमणीयं शोधेति चक्षुं विधमति अन्धकारं ॥ ५०३ ॥

na pāpakarmaṃ kari hīnabuddhiḥ jñānaṃ tu jñātvā paramaṃ viśiṣṭo |
karoti divyaṃ śubhapremaṇīyaṃ śodheti cakṣuṃ vidhamati andhakāraṃ || 503 ||

He committs no sin through defect of wisdom, but is distinguished for knowing the highest knowledge. His behaviour is divinely pure, fair and kind. He clears the sight and blows away the darkness. (503)
