Verse 55.5

वाच्यावाच्यं प्रकुपितो न विजानाति कर्हिचित्। नाकार्यमस्ति क्रुद्धस्य नावाच्यं विद्यते क्वचित्॥

vācyāvācyaṃ prakupito na vijānāti karhicit| nākāryamasti kruddhasya nāvācyaṃ vidyate kvacit||

English Meaning

The angry cannot decide what should be spoken and what not. There is no vice which cannot be committed by them, and there is nothing which cannot be spoken by them.

M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
