Hamsa–Sādhya Dialogue; Restraint of Speech; Marks of Noble Lineage; Means to Peace
यश्चाशिष्यं शास्ति वै यश्व तुष्येद् यश्चातिवेलं भजते द्विषन्तम् । स्त्रियश्व॒ यो रक्षति भद्रम श्लुते यशक्षायाच्यं याचते कत्थते च
yaś cāśiṣyaṃ śāsti vai yaś ca tuṣyed yaś cātivelaṃ bhajate dviṣantam | striyaś ca yo rakṣati bhadram aśnute yaś cākṣāyācyaṃ yācate katthate ca ||
毗度罗说：阎摩之使者手执绳索，必将那些颠倒伦理秩序之人拖入地狱——对不当受教训者施以管束而自鸣得意者；逾越应守的界限而求满足者；侍奉仇敌者；妄称“保护”本不宜托付保护之妇人，并自以为因此得福者；以及向不当乞求之人乞求、又自我夸耀者。此颂属于更广的伦理箴诫，警示凡违越礼法、好自矜伐者，终致败亡。

Educational Q&A
Do not invert dharma by misdirecting discipline, transgressing limits, serving enemies, forming improper protective/beneficiary ties, or begging from unfit sources while boasting. Such conduct reflects loss of discernment (viveka) and leads to moral downfall.
In Udyoga Parva, Vidura delivers moral counsel (Vidura-nīti). Here he lists types of unethical or socially destructive behavior and warns that Yama’s agents punish such people—framing the teaching as a vivid consequence for adharma.
