Canonical Ref: MBh 12.252.6
Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)
सदाचारो मतो धर्मः सन्तस्त्वाचारलक्षणाः । साध्यासाध्यं कथं शक्यं सदाचारो ह्यलक्षणम् ॥
English Scholarly Translation
The acts of the good, as you have said, form virtue. The good, however, are to be known by their acts. The definition, therefore, has at the bottom a begging of the question, and the result is that what is meant by conduct of the good remains unsettled.
