Verse 7.20.13

प्रतियोगिव्यवच्छित्तेरभावात्स्वस्वभावयोः ।
स्वभावोक्तिर्न चैवात्र भवत्यर्थानुसारिणी ॥ १३ ॥

pratiyogivyavacchitterabhāvātsvasvabhāvayoḥ |
svabhāvoktirna caivātra bhavatyarthānusāriṇī || 13 ||

It is through opposition of nature that leads one into error, but in fact nature ever remains the same; as wrong interpretation of language imbues bad ideas whereas character remains the same.
