Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
दुर्जनासि करी साहे । तो ही दंड हे लाहे ॥१॥
शिंदळीच्या कुंटणी वाटा । संग खोटा खोट्याचा ॥ध्रु.॥
येर येरा कांचणी भेटे । आगी उठे तेथूनी ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे कापूं नाकें । पुढें आणिकें शिकविती ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
He who tolerates a wicked person also shares in the punishment. The company of the dishonest is like the lanes of a brothel. When one rogue meets another, fire springs up between them. Says Tuka, even if you cut off their noses, they only teach worse behavior to the next generation.
