O Mankind! All those who are writhing in unsatiated sensuality, who are adept in (worldly) activities, who have not ceased from (the cause of the influx of karma) and who profess salvation through avidyā (i.e. absence of Right Perception), keep rotating in the vortex of the samsara.

I say so.
On the other hand, avidya (i. e. deluded perception) can never lead one to emancipation. Those preceptors, who prescribe avidya as a means of emancipation, are swept away by the current of samsara (birth-death-cycles), because they, in fact, prescribe the wrong path as the right one to emancipation.
