Sanskrit Text

ऋषीणां समयं नित्यं ये चरन्ति युधिष्ठिर निश्चिताः सर्वधर्मज्ञास्तान्देवा ब्राह्मणान्विदुः

English Translation

The present that is given to a lying or deceitful person destroys both the giver and the receiver without benefiting them in any way. Such a present is destructive and highly censurable. The Pitris of the person making it have to fall down form the celestial path.
