Guard against the wicked | Arthashastra



तक्षकस्य विषं दन्ते मक्षिकाया मुखे विशम्।

वृश्चिकस्य विषं पुच्दे सर्वांगे दुर्जने विषम् ।।


Takshasya Visham Dante Makshikaayaa Mukhe Visham |

Vrishchikasya Visham Puche Sarvaange Durjane Visham ||


The place of poison in a snake is the tooth, in a fly the head, in a scorpion the tail but the wicked has poison in his entire body

Meaning that a wicked person is much more deadly than all the poisonous insects and reptiles put together. Hence we must guard against the wicked.
