मन्निमित्तं कृतं पापमपि धर्माय कल्पते ।
मामनादृत्य धर्मोऽपि पापं स्यान्मत्प्रभावतः ॥
man-nimittaṁ kṛtaṁ pāpam api dharmāya kalpate |
mām anādṛtya dharmo’pi pāpaṁ syān mat-prabhāvataḥ ||
(Padma Purāṇa; Hari-bhakti-vilāsa: 1.110, 10.263)
[Bhagavān:] “By my power, even sin that is committed for me is considered dharma, and even dharma that disregards me can become sin.”
