Even if an incorrigible evil-doer worships Me, not resorting to any other [goal], he should be deemed to be righteous; for, he has properly undertaken his task.
Even the most sinful, if he worship Me with his whole heart, shalt be considered righteous, for he is treading the right path.

O son of Prtha, even those who are of sinful birth, women, men of working class, and the members of the fourth caste—even they, having taken refuge in Me, attain the highest goal.
For even the children of sinful parents, and those miscalled the weaker sex, and merchants, and labourers, if only they will make Me their refuge, they shall attain the Highest.
By taking refuge in Me even men of evil birth, women, Vaisyas and also Sudras attain the supreme state.
For, O son of Prtha, even those who are born of sin-women, Vaisyas, as also Sudras [S.'s construction of this portion is: women, Vaisyas as also Sudras, and even others who are born of sin (i.e., those who are born low and are of vile deeds, viz Mlecchas, Pukkasas and others). M.S. also takes papa-yonayah (born of sin) as a separate phrase, and classifies women and others only as those debarred from Vedic study, etc.-Tr.]-, even they reach the highest Goal by taking shelter under Me.
For, taking refuge in Me, they also, who, O Arjuna, may be of sinful birth–women, Vaisyas as well as Sudras–attain the Supreme Goal!
