मौर्ख्योन्मेषनिमेषाभ्यां कर्मणां प्रलयोदयौ ।
तद्विलीनं कुरु बलाद्गुरुशास्त्रार्थसंयमैः ॥ १८ ॥

maurkhyonmeṣanimeṣābhyāṃ karmaṇāṃ pralayodayau |
tadvilīnaṃ kuru balādguruśāstrārthasaṃyamaiḥ || 18 ||

So also it is the act of ignorance to give rise to ceremonious works, as it is that of knowledge to repress them; Do you therefore boldly put them down by your own forbearance, and the instructions you derive from the sastras and your preceptors.
