Primary English translation:
“One who is lazy, who eats much, who is hated by the people, who is crafty and cruel, who knows neither time nor place, who dresses in an undesirable way—these are not to be lodged in one’s home.”
(translation by Raghu Vira; notes: In Sārasamuccaya)
Secondary translations:
“One who does improper acts, one who eats excessively, one who is hated by men, one who is very deceitful, one who is cruel, one who does not know the suitability of time and place, one who dresses indecently – these six should not be allowed a shelter in one’s house.”
(translation by M. N. Dutt)
“Wer träge, gefrässig, den Leuten verhasst, ein Betrüger und boshaft ist, weder Ord noch Zeit kennt (d. i. auf dieselben keine Rücksicht nimmt) und widerliche Kleider trägt, den soll man nicht im Hause beherbergen.”
(translation by Otto Böhtlingk)
