51.121

dvitīyastu guṇān maitrīṃ lokasthāmapakarṣati /
ityete dauḥ sahāḥ sarve yakṣmaṇaḥ santatāvatha /
pāpācārāḥ samākhyātā yairvyāptamakhilaṃ jagat //

the second diminishes the virtues and friendship found in people. / Thus all these wicked-acting descendants of Duḥsaha and Yakṣman / have been described, by whom the entire universe is pervaded.

All these are the offspring of Duḥsaha, in the pedigree of that goblin[73]; they are notorious as observers of wicked customs; it is they who have overspread the whole world.

Now the daughter called Vidveṣaṇī has a countenance rugged with frowns. She had two sons, Apakāra[69] and Prakāśaka.[70] These two sons come to a man, who delights in calumny, who is inconstant, and who uses impure water, and who hates mankind, and stay with him permanently. Hated by mother, by brother, by beloved friends, by kinsmen, by strangers, a man perishes from righteousness or wealth. Now one son, working sin, divulges[71] men’s peculiar qualities in the world; and the second plucks away[72] one’s good qualities and the friendship that exists among people.
