ब्रह्मणः सुकृतात्पापात्कीटकस्य समुत्थितेः ।
चित्तन्मात्रात्मिका भ्रान्तिः प्रेक्षामात्रं भवेत्क्षयः ॥ ७१ ॥

brahmaṇaḥ sukṛtātpāpātkīṭakasya samutthiteḥ |
cittanmātrātmikā bhrāntiḥ prekṣāmātraṃ bhavetkṣayaḥ || 71 ||

It is wrong to suppose one's elevation, to be owing to the merit of his acts, and his degradation to the condition of worms, to result from his former acts of demerit; because there is the same particle of intellect in both of them, and this being known, will destroy the mistaken difference between the great and small.
