Vidura-nīti: Atithi-dharma, Trust, Counsel-Secrecy, and Traits of Sustainable Rule
Udyoga Parva, Adhyāya 38
ये वै भेदनशीलास्तु सकामा निस्त्रपा: शठा: । ये पापा इति विख्याता: संवासे परिगर्लहिता:,दूसरोंमें फ़ूट डालनेका जिनका स्वभाव है, जो कामी, निर्लज्ज, शठ और प्रसिद्ध पापी हैं, वे साथ रखनेके अयोग्य--निन्दित माने गये हैं
ye vai bhedanaśīlāstu sakāmā nistrapāḥ śaṭhāḥ | ye pāpā iti vikhyātāḥ saṃvāse parigarhitāḥ ||
বিদুৰে ক’লে— যিসকলৰ স্বভাৱেই বিভেদ ঘটোৱা, যিসকল কামাসক্ত, নিৰ্লজ্জ, শঠ আৰু পাপী বুলি প্ৰসিদ্ধ— তেওঁলোক সহবাসৰ অযোগ্য; নিন্দিত বুলি গণ্য।

Educational Q&A
One should not keep close company with people who habitually create divisions and are ruled by lust, shamelessness, and deceit; such association is morally censured and socially harmful.
In the Udyoga Parva, Vidura is offering moral and political counsel; here he warns about the danger of living closely with divisive and corrupt individuals, emphasizing prudent association as part of righteous conduct.
