को जातु परभावां हि नारीं व्यालीमिव स्थिताम् । वासयेत गृहे जानन्स्त्रीणां दोषान्महात्ययान्॥५-१७८-२१॥
“Who indeed would keep within his household a woman inclined toward another, standing as it were like a serpent—knowing the grave perils that arise from women’s faults?”
english translation
न भयाद्वासवस्यापि धर्मं जह्यां महाद्युते । प्रसीद मा वा यद्वा ते कार्यं तत्कुरु माचिरम्॥५-१७८-२२॥
Not even from fear of Vāsava (Indra) would I abandon dharma, O greatly radiant one. Be appeased—or else do whatever you deem necessary; do not delay.
english translation
अयं चापि विशुद्धात्मन्पुराणे श्रूयते विभो । मरुत्तेन महाबुद्धे गीतः श्लोको महात्मना॥५-१७८-२३॥
And this too, O pure-souled and mighty one, is heard in the Purāṇa: a verse sung by the great-souled Marutta, O highly intelligent one.
english translation
गुरोरप्यवलिप्तस्य कार्याकार्यमजानतः । उत्पथप्रतिपन्नस्य कार्यं भवति शासनम्॥५-१७८-२४॥
Even of a teacher—if arrogant, unable to discern what should and should not be done, and having entered a wrong course—correction becomes the proper response.
english translation
स त्वं गुरुरिति प्रेम्णा मया संमानितो भृशम् । गुरुवृत्तं न जानीषे तस्माद्योत्स्याम्यहं त्वया॥५-१७८-२५॥
Thus, thinking, “you are my teacher,” I honored you greatly out of affection. But you do not understand the proper conduct of a teacher; therefore I will engage you in strategic combat.
