Dharmam prasangaadapi naacharanti papam prayatnena samaacharanti.
Aascharymetaddhi manushyalokemrutam parityaajya visham pivanti..
Dharmam = religious tenets,righteousness. Prasangaadapi = prasangaad +api. Api = even
Prasanggad = occasion. Naacharanti = na +aacharanti. Na = not. Acharanti = act upon, follow.
Paapam = sinful acts. Prayatnena =deliberately, intentionally. Samaacharanti = perform thoroughly.
Aascharyametaddhi = aascharya +etad +hi. Ascharya = surprise. Etad= this Hi = surely.
Manushyaslokeymrutam Manushyaloke + amrutam. Manushyaloke = in this world.
Amrutam = According to a legend 'Amruta' a nectar was produced from ocean by the joint efforts of Gods and Demons. This nectar has the power to make a person immortal if he drinks it.
Parityaajya = to give up or renounce, discard. Visham = poison. Pivanti = drink.
i.e. People do not follow the tenets of Religion even on religious occasions where they are supposed to do so and deliberately indulge in sinful deeds. It is really surprising that in this world people discard the 'Amrita' and deliberately choose poison instead.
(In this subhashita the author has compared virtuous deeds according to the tenets of religion to "Amruta" and sinful deeds to a poison, and expresses surprise at the tendency of people deliberately and knowingly choosing the path leading to sins.)
