A King perishes through bad advice: A ruler who lacks wise ministers or listens to sycophants will inevitably lose his kingdom.

A Sanyasi through association: A monk or renounced person loses their spiritual focus and sanctity by staying too long in worldly company or forming deep attachments.

A Rushi through neglecting meditation: A sage’s power and spiritual insight are maintained only through constant discipline; without meditation, they lose their status.

Conduct through squabbles: One's character and social reputation are ruined by constant bickering and petty arguments.
