परेषां यत्र दोष: स्यात् तद् गुहां सम्प्रकाशयेत् । समानेष्वेव दोषेषु वृत्त्यर्थमुपघातयेत्,जहाँ दूसरोंकी बदनामी होती हो, वहाँ उनके गुप्त दोषोंको भी प्रकट कर देता है और अपने तथा दूसरेके अपराध बारबर होनेपर भी वह आजीविकाके लिये दूसरेका ही सर्वनाश करता है
Translation
“Wherever he can bring disgrace upon others, he exposes even their hidden faults. And even when his own offense is equal to another’s, for the sake of livelihood he strikes down the other, bringing ruin upon him.”
