अश्रद्दधाना धर्मस्य ते नश्यन्ति न संशयः ॥४४॥

44. karma caitadasādhūnāṁ vṛjinānāmasādhuvat ,
na dharmo'stīti manvānāḥ śucīnavahasanti ye ,
aśraddadhānā dharmasya te naśyanti na saṁśayaḥ.

44. karma ca etat asādhūnām vṛjinānām
asādhu vat | na dharmaḥ asti iti manvānāḥ
śucīn avahasanti ye | aśraddadhānāḥ
dharmasya te naśyanti na saṃśayaḥ

44. And this is the action (karma) of the wicked, of the crooked, like an unvirtuous person: those who, thinking "There is no natural law (dharma)," mock the pure ones. Those who lack conviction (śraddhā) in natural law (dharma)—they surely perish, there is no doubt.
