A miser, one who speaks with malice, one who is not learned, one inhabiting the woods, one who is cunning, one who does not respect another that is generally respected, one who is cruel, one who has the habit of making enemy of others, one who is ungrateful-these should not be asked for favours even by a man in distress.
कदर्यमाक्रोशकमश्रुतं च वनौकसं धूर्तममान्यमानिनम्। मेतान् भृशार्तोऽपि न जातु याचेत्॥
