क्षान्त्या शुध्यन्ति विद्वांसो दानेनाकार्यकारिणः । प्रच्छन्नपापा जप्येन तपसा वेदवित्तमाः ॥ १०७ ॥
sanskrit
The learned are purified by a forgiving disposition, those who have committed forbidden actions by liberality, secret sinners by muttering (sacred texts), and those who best know the Veda by austerities.
