The Sin of Breaking Households: Citrā’s Past Karma and the Remedy of Hari’s Name and Meditation
दुष्टानां संगतिं प्राप्ता नराणां पापिनां सदा । दूतीकर्म चकाराथ सा तेषां पापनिश्चया
duṣṭānāṃ saṃgatiṃ prāptā narāṇāṃ pāpināṃ sadā | dūtīkarma cakārātha sā teṣāṃ pāpaniścayā
وہ ہمیشہ بدکار اور گناہگار مردوں کی صحبت میں جا پڑی؛ پھر گناہ پر پختہ ارادہ کر کے ان کی دُوتی، یعنی پیغام رساں و دلال، بن کر کام کرنے لگی۔
Unspecified (narratorial verse; broader dialogue context not provided in input)

Application: Audit your social circles; refuse to be an intermediary for unethical acts (gossip, manipulation, illicit dealings); choose sat-saṅga and service-oriented communities.
