Shloka 15
Adhyāya 115: On Restraint Under Verbal Provocation in the Assembly (सभायां आक्रोश-सहिष्णुता)
Devanagari script
इसलिये बुद्धिमान् पुरुषको चाहिये कि वह वैसे पापपूर्ण विचारवाले पुरुषको तत्काल त्याग दे। वह कुत्तेके मांसके समान साधु पुरुषोंके लिये सदा ही त्याज्य है ।।
Transliteration
parivādaṁ bruvāṇo hi durātmā vai mahājane | prakāśayati doṣāṁs tu sarpaḥ phaṇam ivocchritam ||
Translation
毗湿摩说道：“那心怀邪恶、在众人中四处散布毁谤之言者，智者当即刻舍离。因他张扬他人之过，便也公然显露自身的恶意——如毒蛇昂起颈罩，使众目皆见。”
