Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 26
अरिभिः परिभूतं वा यस्त्यजति स पापकृत् । तद्भार्यापुत्रमित्रेषु यश्चावज्ञां करोति वा
aribhiḥ paribhūtaṃ vā yastyajati sa pāpakṛt | tadbhāryāputramitreṣu yaścāvajñāṃ karoti vā
शत्रूंनी अपमानित झालेल्या गुरूला जो त्यागतो तो पापकर्ता होय. तसेच जो पत्नी, पुत्र व मित्र यांचा अवमान करतो तोही दोषी ठरतो.
