opportunism

कातर्यं दुर्विनीतत्वं कार्पण्यमविवेकिता।

सर्वे मार्जन्ति कवयः शालीनां मुष्टिकिङ्कराः॥

Opportunists who pose as learned poets and scholars

just being slaves to the fistfuls of grains they would receive as patronage

would conceal or ignore the nasty traits of their sponsors

The unhealthy traits like

procrastination,

lack of courage,

arrogance, ignorance,

lack of discretion etc

found in their patrons and

would give the colour of simplicity and grace to such characters..
