छित्त्वान पन्थं कुवनान्तरस्मिं यथा शास्तारं मुनिं नो च कृत्वा ।
खण्डित्व शिक्षां परमार्थदर्शिनो मार्गा च्युतो वीचिम् उपेति कृच्छ्रं ॥ ११ ॥

chittvāna panthaṃ kuvanāntarasmiṃ yathā śāstāraṃ muniṃ no ca kṛtvā |
khaṇḍitva śikṣāṃ paramārthadarśino mārgā cyuto vīcim upeti kṛcchraṃ || 11 ||

Hewing our way through the trackless jungle and taking the Seer as our master. . . But he who breaks up the teaching of him who discerns the highest good, falls away from the Way and passes to the dire hell of Avici. (11)
