vande’haṁ durjanān pūrvaṁ sajjanāś ca tataḥ param |
mukha-prakṣālanāt pūrvaṁ pāyu-prakṣālanaṁ yathā ||
(Bhāvārtha-dīpikā-prakāśa on Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: 1.1.1)
“I offer obeisance to the wicked first, and thereafter to the virtuous, just as one washes one’s rear before washing one’s mouth.”

“Sāma (pacification) is of five types: speech related to relationships, gain, assistance, unity [i.e., non-separateness], and praise of qualities. Bheda (disconcertion) is [of two types:] speech related to the seen and the unseen [i.e., speaking so as to create concerns regarding the present and the future (as per the Sārārtha-darśanī-ṭīkā: dṛṣṭādṛṣṭa-bhaya-lakṣaṇo dvividho bhedaḥ].”
