Men, leading domestic life, being afraid of the weight of taxation, become deceivers; while Brahmanas assuming the disguise of ascetics earn wealth by trade. O foremost of men, many Brahmanas become from their avarice of wealth religious mendicants of the Brahmacharya order.
करभारभयाद् भीता गृहस्थाः परिमोषकाः। मुनिच्छद्माकृतिच्छन्ना वाणिज्यमुपजीविनः॥ मिथ्या च नखरोमाणिधारयन्ति तदा द्विजाः। अर्थलोभान्नरव्याघ्र तथा च ब्रह्मचारिणः॥
