hk transliteration by Sanscriptवध्यन्ते पापकर्माणो यद्यधर्मेण राघव । वधकर्महतो धर्मः स हतः कं वधिष्यति ॥ ६-८३-२२
"Righteousness and unrighteousness are forms of actions, sinful or not sinful. If sinful action is unrighteous, those who have done sinful actions should suffer. Since sinful action is momentary, and as soon as the action is over unrighteousness is also gone. That being so how can unrighteousness cause pain to anyone?" ॥ 6-83-22॥

"O Rama, the destroyer of adversaries! It is not clear how prosperity can be reached by righteousness, which has never known how to retaliate. Hence, righteousness seems to be non-existent." ॥ 6-83-24॥
