Mahabharata — Stree Parva, Shloka 14

Saṃsāra-gahana-jñāna: Vidura’s Account of Embodiment, Bondage, and Dharmic Release (संसारगहन-ज्ञानम्)

Devanagari script

मूर्खानिति परानाह नात्मानं समवेक्षते | दोषान्‌ क्षिपति चान्येषां नात्मानं शास्तुमिच्छति

Translation

Llama “necios” a los demás, pero no se mira a sí mismo. Arroja culpas sobre las faltas ajenas, mas no quiere gobernar su propia mente para corregirse y apartarse de esas mismas faltas.
