and do what should not be done.

For the insolent and the negligent,

their defilements only grow.

but always do what should be done.

Mindful and aware,

their defilements come to an end.

Having slain mother and father,

and two prosperous kings,

and a tiger as the fifth,

the brahmin walks on untroubled.
