A Mahar commits incest with his mother, he knows not what is in store for him. Foul are the qualities of a foul wretch; but you can soon drive him away from you. A dog under cover of his master’s authority may annoy you, but when you grow angry, he lies down. Tuka says, Why should I conceal anything? I will tell the truth to the wicked.
