प्लवन्ते धर्मलघवो लोकेऽम्भसि यथा प्लवाः । मज्जन्ति पापगुरवः शस्त्रं स्कन्नमिवोदके ॥
English Scholarly Translation
Those who have made themselves light by performing virtuous deeds, manage to cross the sea of the world as a ship crosses the ocean. But those who have loaded themselves with sin sink into the bottom, as an arrow thrown into the water.
