Hypocrisy

By Staff

One who indulges in vice under cover of a saint's trappings, Is like a bird-catcher lying in wait behind a bush.
There have always been some people, who have used the cover of their high position to commit low crime – expecting that their 'holy habit will cleanse their foul soul'. They are the people who are compared here to the third-rate hunter lying in wait behind a bush to catch birds. It is such people Periapuranam castigates as those who commit crime and vice under cover of ascetic roles and looks.
