O foremost of Brahmanas, practising virtue with hypocracy, they remain satisfied in acquiring wealth by dishonourable means. And with the wealth thus acquired, their intelligence becomes attached to the evil ways; they were then filled with the desire to commit sins. O foremost of Brahmanas, when their friends and the learned men remonstrate.
व्याजेन चरते धर्ममर्थ व्याजेन रोचते। व्याजेन सिध्यमानेषु धनेषु द्विजसत्तम॥ तत्रैव रमते बुद्धिस्तत: पापं चिकीर्षति। सुहद्भिर्वार्यमाणश्च पण्डितैश्च द्विजोत्तम॥
