Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

किञ्चिदकार्यं कुर्वन्नेवं यो दृश्यते शुचिभिरन्यैः ।
पश्चात्तापेन युतो व्रीडित इति वेदितव्योऽसौ
kiñcidakāryaṃ kurvannevaṃ yo dṛśyate śucibhiranyaiḥ |
paścāttāpena yuto vrīḍita iti veditavyo 'sau

The line

The one who, doing something a little improper, is seen thus by other pure people, joined with regret afterwards: he is to be known as ashamed.

नेपालीमा

अलि अनुचित काम गरेर अरू पवित्र मानिसले त्यसरी देखेको र पछि पछुतोसँग जोडिएकोलाई लज्जित जान्नुपर्छ।

Where it sits

Vrīḍā (व्रीडा). The prose says it is of the nature of doing what should not be done, from transgressing a teacher, from contempt, and from not carrying out a promise.

Split: kiñcidakāryaṃ (किञ्चिदकार्यं) kurvannevaṃ (कुर्वन्नेवं) yo (यो) dṛśyate (दृश्यते) śucibhiranyaiḥ (शुचिभिरन्यैः) / paścāttāpena (पश्चात्तापेन) yuto (युतो) vrīḍita (व्रीडित) iti (इति) veditavyo (वेदितव्यो) 'sau (ऽसौ)
