An intelligent man should pay no attention to an utterer of abusive words who resembles, after all, only a Tittibha uttering dissonant notes. One, who is possessed by hate is said to live in vain. A fool is often heard to say,-I addressed such words to such a respectable man amid such an assembly of men!-and to cven boast of that wicked act.
टिट्टिभं तमुपेक्षेत वाशमानमिवातुरम्। लोकविद्वेषमापन्नो निष्फलं प्रतिपद्यते॥ इति संश्लाघते नित्यं तेन पापेन कर्मणा। इदमुक्तो मया कश्चित् सम्मतो जनसंसदि॥
