अकार्यकरणाद्भीतः कार्याणां च विवर्जनात् । अकाले मन्त्रभेदाच्च येन माद्येन्न तत्पिबेत्॥५-३४-४१॥
One should not consume that which intoxicates a person—bringing fear from wrongful acts, neglect of duties, and the disclosure of confidential counsel at improper times.

Pride in learning, pride in wealth, and third, pride in birth—these intoxications stain the arrogant; for the virtuous, these very factors become disciplines and restraints.

असन्तोऽभ्यर्थिताः सद्भिः किंचित्कार्यं कदाचन । मन्यन्ते सन्तमात्मानमसन्तमपि विश्रुतम्॥५-३४-४३॥
When the unvirtuous are petitioned by the virtuous for some small task, they sometimes imagine themselves to be virtuous—and even think their unvirtue has become reputable
