A man shorn of understanding never thinks of the sins committed by him. Those sins, however, overtake the doer who has disregarded the scriptures. As Rahu comes to Chandra, those sinful acts come to the foolish man.
पापं कृतं न स्मरतीह मूढो विवर्तमानस्य तदेति कर्तुः। राहुयथा चन्द्रमुपैति चापि तथाबुधं पापमुपैति कर्म॥
