If while engaged in the observance of his own duties, without doing any unfair act, riches comes to a peaceful Brahmana endued with knowledge, he should then marry and seek to beget children, and should also practise charity and celebrate sacrifices. It has been declared by the wise that wealth thus acquired should be enjoyed by distributing it among worthy persons and relatives.
तं चेद् द्विजमुपागच्छेद् वर्तमानं स्वकर्मणि। अकुर्वाणं विक्रर्माणि शान्तं प्रज्ञानतर्पितम्॥ कुर्वीतापत्यसंतानमथो दद्याद् यजेत च। संविभज्य च भोक्तव्यं धनं सद्भिरितीर्यते॥
