अजानतैवाचरितस्त्वया ब्रह्मवधो यथा ।योगेश्वरस्य भवतो नाम्नायोऽपि नियामक: ॥ ३१ ॥यद्येतद् ब्रह्महत्याया: पावनं लोकपावन ।चरिष्यति भवाँल्लोकसङ्ग्रहोऽनन्यचोदित: ॥ ३२ ॥

Translation:
“You have unknowingly killed a brāhmaṇa. Of course, even the injunctions of revealed scripture cannot dictate to You, the Lord of all mystic power. But if by Your own free will You nonetheless carry out the prescribed purification for this slaying of a brāhmaṇa, O purifier of the whole world, people in general will greatly benefit by Your example.”
