ITRANS:
dharmo rajas tamo hanyātsattva-vṛddhir anuttamaḥāśu naśyati tan-mūlohy adharma ubhaye hate

Religious principles, strengthened by the mode of goodness, destroy the influence of passion and ignorance. When passion and ignorance are overcome, their original cause, irreligion, is quickly vanquished.
