English: Vidura said O wicked man, do you not know that by uttering such words you are tying yourself with cords? Do you not feel that you are standing on the edge of the precipice? Do you not know that being but a deer you are provoking to anger so many tigers? ?
Sanskrit: आशीविषास्ते शिरसि पूर्णकोपा महाविषाः। मा कोपिष्ठाः सुमन्दात्मन् मा गमस्त्वं यमक्षयम्॥
English: O greatly wicked-minded man, deadly venomous and angry snakes are on your head. Do not provoke them any further and go to the land of Yama.
