द्वितीयस्तु गुणान् मैत्रीं लोकस्थामपकर्षति ।
इत्येते दौः सहाः सर्वे यक्ष्मणः सन्ततावथ ।
पापाचाराः समाख्याता यैर्व्याप्तमखिलं जगत् ॥१२१॥

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

121. dvitīyaḥ tu guṇān maitrīm lokasthām
apakarṣati iti ete dauḥsahāḥ sarve
yakṣmaṇaḥ santatau atha pāpācārāḥ
samākhyātāḥ yaiḥ vyāptam akhilam jagat

121. But the second (type of person, unlike the first wrongdoer who merely reveals his own nature) detracts from good qualities and friendship existing in the world. Thus, all these (negative traits mentioned earlier) are intolerable. They are declared as the continuous lineage of misfortune (yakṣman) and as evil conduct (pāpācāra), by which the entire world is pervaded.
