Note! This is not a direct translation of the verse, but merely an approximate preview.
...the gods see them. A sin concealed by another sin leads to fresh sins. An act of merit, again, if concealed by an act of merit, increases the merit. The acts of a virtuous man always follow in the wake of virtue...
