दमः अष्टादशदोषः स्यात् अष्टादशदोषसमन्वितो भवति ।किमेतेषां दोषत्वमिति चेत्—प्रतिकूलं कृते भवेत् एतेषाम्

In plain words

"Restraint would carry eighteen faults" — that is, it comes attended by the eighteen faults. And if you ask what makes these count as faults at all: once restraint is actually being practised, these are what pull the other way.

Close to the Sanskrit

"Restraint would be eighteen-faulted" — means: it becomes accompanied by the eighteen faults. If it be asked, "What is the fault-hood of these?" — [the answer:] when it is practised, there would be, on the part of these, what runs contrary.
