Verse 2.8.5

मूढानुमानसंसिद्धं दैवं यस्यास्ति दुर्मतेः ।
दैवाद्दाहोऽस्ति नैवेति गन्तव्यं तेन पावके ॥ ५ ॥

mūḍhānumānasaṃsiddhaṃ daivaṃ yasyāsti durmateḥ |
daivāddāho'sti naiveti gantavyaṃ tena pāvake || 5 ||

The perverted understanding that believes in a destiny grounded on its erroneous conception, may well enter into the fire from his conviction that it will not burn him unless it is so destined.
