दृश्यन्ते हि दुरात्मानो वध्यमानाः स्वकर्मभिः । इन्द्रियाणामनीशत्वाद्राजानो राज्यविभ्रमैः॥५-३४-६६॥
For it is seen that ill-governed persons are brought down by their own actions; kings, lacking mastery over the senses, are undone through disruptions and reversals of sovereignty.
english translation
असंत्यागात्पापकृतामपापांस्तुल्यो दण्डः स्पृशते मिश्रभावात् । शुष्केणार्द्रं दह्यते मिश्रभावात्तस्मात्पापैः सह संधिं न कुर्यात्॥५-३४-६७॥
By not separating from wrongdoers, even the blameless are touched by an equal consequence, due to association. As dry fuel burns the wet through contact, so one should not enter into alliance with the unethical.

निजानुत्पततः शत्रून्पञ्च पञ्चप्रयोजनान् । यो मोहान्न निगृह्णाति तमापद्ग्रसते नरम्॥५-३४-६८॥
One who, through delusion, does not restrain the five inner adversaries—each arising from its own motive—when they begin to surge within, is overtaken and swallowed by calamity.
english translation
अनसूयार्जवं शौचं संतोषः प्रियवादिता । दमः सत्यमनायासो न भवन्ति दुरात्मनाम्॥५-३४-६९॥
Freedom from envy, straightforwardness, purity, contentment, gentle speech, self-restraint, truthfulness, and serene ease do not arise in those of corrupted disposition.

आत्मज्ञानमनायासस्तितिक्षा धर्मनित्यता । वाक्चैव गुप्ता दानं च नैतान्यन्त्येषु भारत॥५-३४-७०॥
Self-knowledge, composed ease, forbearance, steadfastness in dharma, guarded speech, and generosity—these are not found among the degraded, O Bhārata.
