न चास्मिन्सर्वशास्त्राणि प्रतरन्ति निगर्हणाम् । सोऽभिक्रुध्यति भृत्यानां सुहृदश्चाभ्यसूयति॥५-७०-३१॥
And in his case, all the teachings of the śāstras do not carry him beyond reproach; he becomes enraged with his attendants and grows envious of his well-wishers.
english translation
तं तदा मन्युरेवैति स भूयः संप्रमुह्यति । स मोहवशमापन्नः क्रूरं कर्म निषेवते॥५-७०-३२॥
Then anger alone overtakes him, and he becomes further confused. Having fallen under the power of delusion, he engages in harsh conduct.
english translation
पापकर्मात्ययायैव संकरं तेन पुष्यति । संकरो नरकायैव सा काष्ठा पापकर्मणाम्॥५-७०-३३॥
For the very continuation of wrongful action, he thereby fosters saṃkara—disorder and mixture. Such saṃkara tends toward a hellish outcome; that is the terminal point of wrongful conduct.
english translation
न चेत्प्रबुध्यते कृष्ण नरकायैव गच्छति । तस्य प्रबोधः प्रज्ञैव प्रज्ञाचक्षुर्न रिष्यति॥५-७०-३४॥
If he does not awaken, O Kṛṣṇa, he goes indeed toward a hellish outcome. His awakening is only wisdom; the eye of discernment does not perish.
english translation
प्रज्ञालाभे हि पुरुषः शास्त्राण्येवान्ववेक्षते । शास्त्रनित्यः पुनर्धर्मं तस्य ह्रीरङ्गमुत्तमम्॥५-७०-३५॥
For when discernment is gained, a person examines the śāstras, the authoritative teachings. One who is constant in the śāstras turns again toward dharma; for such a one, hrī—moral restraint and reverent shame—is the highest constituent.
