स दुष्टो वाप्यदुष्टो वा किमेष रजनीचरः। ईदृशं व्यसनं प्राप्तं भ्रातरं यः परित्यजेत् ॥ को नाम स भवेत्तस्य यमेष न परित्यजेत्।
sa duṣṭo vāpyaduṣṭo vā kimeṣa rajanīcaraḥ| īdṛśaṃ vyasanaṃ prāptaṃ bhrātaraṃ yaḥ parityajet || ko nāma sa bhavettasya yameṣa na parityajet|
English Meaning
Whether this ranger of the night is sincere or wicked, he should never be offered any shelter, since he has forsaken his brother in the midst of these calamities. What reason is there to believe that he shall not renounce us in our difficulty?
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
