घृणी राजा पुंश्चली राजभृत्य: पुत्रो भ्राता विधवा बालपुत्रा । सेनाजीवी चोद्धृत भूतिरेव व्यवहारेषु वर्जनीया: स्युरेते
ghṛṇī rājā puṁścalī rājabhṛtyaḥ putro bhrātā vidhavā bālaputrā | senājīvī coddhṛtabhūtir eva vyavahāreṣu varjanīyāḥ syur ete ||
毗度罗告诫：处世交易，当持谨慎之心，勿与某些人轻易涉入财货往来或讼事契约；因其地位、依附或不稳，最易引生争端：过于多情软弱之王、淫乱之女、王家臣仆、自己的儿子或兄弟、负幼子之寡妇、以战争为生之兵士，以及被夺产失权之人。其义在于审慎：慈悲与亲情，并不能消除交换与契约中偏私、胁迫与诉讼之险。

Educational Q&A
Vidura teaches practical nīti: in matters of contracts, money, and litigation, avoid dealings with persons whose dependence, volatility, or vulnerability tends to produce coercion, bias, or conflict—so that dharma is protected through prudent conduct.
In Udyoga Parva, Vidura delivers counsel on statecraft and ethical living. Here he lists categories of people with whom one should not engage in formal transactions, as part of broader guidance meant to prevent quarrels and injustice during a tense political moment.
