यथा दृष्टं तथा मन्ये याति साधुरसाधुताम् ।
एष सोऽत्यन्त उत्पातो यः साधुर्याति दुष्टताम् ॥ २२ ॥

eṣa so'tyanta utpāto yaḥ sādhuryāti duṣṭatām || 22 ||

This I know from my observation, of the righteous turning to unrighteousness; this is the greatest of all evils (and must be feared), when the honest turn to be dishonest.
