यः whatever, यस्य his, स्वभावः nature, परिमार्जितुम् to erase, कामम् indeed, न शक्यः not possible, दुष्टात्मनाम् evilminded people, आलये in the house, चिरम् for long time, आर्यम् prosperity, न आवसति हि will not be.

English Commentary

Indeed, it is not possible to erase the nature of any one, whatever it be. Prosperity does not rest for long in the house of the evilminded.
