That man who having perpetrated sinful deeds through stupefaction of mind, feels the pangs of repentance and sets his heart on meditation (of the deity), has not to suffer the consequences of his sins. One becomes freed from his sins inasmuch as he repents for them.
मोहादधर्मं यः कृत्वा पुनः समनुतप्यते। मन:समाधिसंयुक्तो न स सेवेते दुष्कृतम्॥ यथा यथा मनस्तस्य दुष्कृतं कर्म गर्हते। तथा तथा शरीर तु तेनाधर्मेण मुच्यते॥
