क्रौर्येणापहतात्मानं दर्शयत्युपवेधनैः ।
उत्सवादपि नीचानां कलहोऽपि सुखायते ॥ ७६ ॥

krauryeṇāpahatātmānaṃ darśayatyupavedhanaiḥ |
utsavādapi nīcānāṃ kalaho'pi sukhāyate || 76 ||

It is the nature of the malicious, to show the pervertedness of their hearts by doing injury to others; as it is characteristic of the base people to raise a row for their pleasure, and not for any gain or good to themselves.
