He has given up righteousness, and walks
unrighteously; he talks quarrelsome non-
sense everywhere. Who loses anything by this
but himself? It is himself he has ruined. He
censures men he ought to honour; he gives up
their friendship, and nourishes a grudge against
them. He prefers society of another kind; he
does not move among the good. He brags of
exploits, and when he brags, he asks for alms.
He exalts himself, but Yama will deal harshly with
him. The man who has no principles, says Tuka,
is an abject wretch.
