A covetous man should be brought under control by continued presents. He that covetous is never satiated with taking other people's riches, Every one, however, becomes covetous of happiness. If a person, therefore, becomes destitute of wealth, he becomes shorn of virtue and pleasure.
लुब्धं हन्यात् सम्प्रदानेन नित्यं लुब्धस्तृप्तिं परवित्तस्य नैति। सर्वो लुब्धः कर्मगुणोपभोगे योऽर्थींनो धर्मकामौ जहाति।॥
