धर्मेण पापं प्रणुदतीह विद्वान्धर्मो बलीयानिति तस्य विद्धि ॥ २४ ॥

In plain words

The one who knows drives sin off with dharma, here, in this very life. Dharma is the stronger of the two — know that about him.

Close to the Sanskrit

By dharma the knower drives away sin here; 'dharma is the stronger' — know that of him.
