Transliteration

ācāryo 'panidhiś caiva bhartsyate tad-anantaram | artha-yuktyā pravatsyanti mitra-sambandhi-bāndhavāḥ ||

Translation

Mārkaṇḍeya said: “After that, even one’s teacher and the keeper of one’s entrusted deposits will be reviled. Friends, relations, and kinsmen too will proceed by arguing from ‘expediency’—using clever reasoning about advantage—rather than by what is right.”
