षडिमान्पुरुषो जह्याद्भिन्नां नावमिवार्णवे । अप्रवक्तारमाचार्यमनधीयानमृत्विजम्॥५-३३-६७॥

A man should abandon these six, as one would abandon a damaged boat upon the ocean: a teacher who does not teach, a priest (ṛtvij) who does not study, a king who does not protect, a spouse who speaks harshly, a cowherd who prefers the village to the herd, and a barber who prefers the forest to his proper work.
