तृणैरिवाग्निः सुतरां विवृद्धिं आछाद्यमानो अपि गुणो अभ्युपैति । स केवलं दुर्जनभावं एति हन्तुं गुणान्वाञ्छति यः परस्य ॥ ७५-१० ॥

Where there are real merits, the attempt to suppress them only increases their splendour just like an attempt to suppress flaming fire by means of dry grass. A person, who out of envy, aims at ruining the reputation of other men, is hated by all.
