The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| niṣiddha-karma-janyaḥ (निषिद्ध-कर्म-जन्यः) | nominative singular, masculine | Born of a forbidden act. Heard janyas (जन्य) before tu (तु). |
| tu (तु) | indeclinable | And, marking the pair with merit. |
| adharmaḥ (अधर्मः) | nominative singular, masculine | Demerit. |
The phrases
The same frame as merit, with the forbidden act in place of the enjoined one.
Sanskrit in this line
Niṣiddha (निषिद्ध) is ni (नि) plus ṣiddha (षिद्ध), forbidden. Janyaḥ (जन्यः) before tu (तु) is janyas (जन्य).
Say it back
Say demerit as the pair of the previous sentence.
