Śrī Viśvanāth Cakravartīpāda comments on Ujjvala Nīlamaṇi 1.21:
“Because the upapati (adulterer)’s
actions are depicted in plays and poems, one may develop a taste for them
as if the upapati had worthy conduct.
tathā tat-tac-ceṣṭitasya kāvya-nāṭya-gatatvena upādeyatayā svādane yad adharma-kṛtaḥ sthānaṁ sūcakasyāpi tad bhavet iti nyāyāc carvaṇa-daśāyāṁ sabhyānām api tādrūpyāpatteś ca vidharma-sparśāt
Even persons of good conduct, absorbed in such depictions, may fall into identification with such a person and becomes tinged with irreligion, in the manner of yad adharma-kṛtaḥ sthānaṁ sūcakasyāpi tad bhavet: the person who points out the sinner attains the same place as the sinner. (SB 1.17.22) “

On my website
madangopal.com, in the file ‘Wisdoms’, I had quoted a mundane philosopher
saying that if one gets obsessed with thoughts of an enemy one assumes that
enemy’s very qualities. That quote has been replaced with this one now, as
mundane philosophers are non-Vedic and subject to the four defects. In this way
all material on my site will follow śāstra.
