Translation
Bhīṣma said: One should not cast reproach upon people who are physically impaired or deformed, those with extra limbs, those lacking learning, those socially censured, those lacking beauty or wealth, or those lacking strength and courage. Such fault-finding is ethically improper and contrary to dharma.
