Among them, the open rogues (are those) who subsist by (cheating in the sale of) various marketable commodities, but the concealed rogues are burglars, robbers in forests, and so forth.

These and the like who show themselves openly, as well as others who walk in disguise (such as) non Aryans who wear the marks of Aryans, he should know to be thorns (in the side of his people).
