हिंदू धर्म के पवित्र पाठ से: देवी भगवतम, चौथी किताब, अध्याय 4-2 का भाग 1

We present to you the spiritual wisdom of Hinduism. On Adharma. All those persons who are attached to worldliness are bent these, therefore, cannot be Aptas (seers). When self interest is obstructed, jealousy and anger arise; and to secure one’s self interest, out of jealousy, arise untruthful words. The Pundits (religious teachers), of yore, declare that truth is the first Pada (foot), cleanliness, the second; compassion, the third; and charity is the fourth Pada (foot) of Dharma (Religion). Thus, devoid of these, It seems no one had any trace of faith and steadiness in one’s religion.
