4.4.12
doṣān pareṣāṃ hi guṇeṣu sādhavo gṛhṇanti kecin na bhavādṛśo dvija /
guṇāṃś ca phalgūn bahulī-kariṣṇavo mahattamās teṣv avidad bhavān agham //
12. O Brāhmin, pious people do not (at all) see defects in the qualities of others; (some) take a separate account of merits and demerits as they are; and those that are (jealous) like thee, see only defects in the merits of others (regard the merits of others as faults), and cannot see their merits at all; and the noblest
are disposed to regard others’ virtues, however trifling they may be, as very great; and thou hast found fault with them.
