dvipañcāśo 'dhyāyaḥ- 52

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.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
