They never make gifts of wealth or dresses, or viands, or gold, or kine, or any kind of food. Those men who are disinclined to relieve the distress of others, who are full of cupidity, who have no faith in the scriptures, and who do not make gifts. Verily, these of little understanding, O goddess, have to sink in Hell.
ये न धनानि न वासांसि न भोगान् न च काञ्चनम्। न गावो नानविकृति प्रयच्छन्ति कदाचन॥ अप्रवृत्ताश्च लुब्धा नास्तिका दानवर्जिताः। एवंभूता नरा देवि निरयं यान्त्यबुद्धयः॥
