Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)
वर्णेभ्योऽपि परिभ्रष्टः स वै संमानमर्हति । न तु यः सत्क्रियां प्राप्य राजसं कर्म सेवते ॥
English Scholarly Translation
Among the six different colours that individual Soul attains at different periods of his existence, he who falls away from a superior colour deserves blame and censure. Hence, one who has acquired the result of good decds should act in such a way as to avoid all acts sullied by the quality of Darkness.
