Sanskrit Original
आत्मानमेव जानाति निकृतं बान्धवैरपि। तेषु सन्ति गुणाश्चैव नैर्गुण्यं चैव लक्ष्यते॥ नाज्ञातिरनुगृह्णाति न चाज्ञातिर्नमस्यति। उभयं ज्ञातिवर्गेषु दृश्यते साध्वसाधु च॥

When a kinsman is persecuted by even his friends, every kinsman of his considers the injury to be inflicted upon himself. In kinsmen, therefore, there both merits and shortcomings. A person having no kinsmen never shows favours to any one nor humbles himself to any one. In kinsmen, therefore, both mcrit and demerit are seen.
