॥ 63 ॥

In plain words

Stories of women, of wealth, of those who deny the sacred, and of enemies are not to be listened to.

On this passage

The classical wording is ascetic and reflects its historical setting. Its practical thrust is to guard attention from narratives that inflame sensual fixation, greed, contempt for the sacred, or hostility—not to demean any class of persons.
