English Translation

अयम् this, भेदः treachery, किल्बिषात् out of guilty mind, कृतोऽपि even done, एवम् in this way, न गृह्यते यदि is not taken in its right sense, तत्र in that matter, मे to me, दुःखम् grief, जायते is arising, धर्मसङ्गश्च attachment to virtue, गर्हितः is censurable.

English Commentary

I am grieved that even though this plot has been hatched by a treacherous mind, you are not taking it in the right perspective. Censurable is adherence to virtue.
