"This is indeed a base deed, done by evil men -- how was it done by you, O Partha, as though it were the most difficult of deeds? For the noble, they say, a noble deed is easy, Dhananjaya; but an ignoble deed is hardest of all on earth for the noble to do. Among whomever a man dwells, and wherever he lives, he quickly takes on that nature -- and this is seen in you."

Bhurishravas lets fall a bitter truth: an evil deed is hardest of all for the noble to perform -- and so its very commission betrays a corruption from bad company. It is significant to note "āśu tacchīlatām eti" -- a man swiftly takes on the nature of those around him. The verse teaches that surroundings quietly shape the soul: closeness to unworthy counsel inclines even the worthy toward an unworthy deed; one must guard not only one's actions but one's company, for character is caught like a contagion.
