Students, again, occupied with learning cannot enjoy pleasures. Those devoted to pleasure must give up knowledge, and those devoted to knowledge must give up pleasure. Fire is never satisfied with fuel, however much of it may be consumed. The great ocean is never satisfied with the rivers it receives, however great their number. Death is never satisfied even with entire living beings. A beautiful woman is never satisfied with any number of men — and so it may well be. O king, hope destroys patience; Yama destroys growth; anger destroys prosperity; stinginess destroys fame; lack of care ruins cattle; a single angered brahmin can destroy an entire kingdom. May there always be, in your house, goats, copper, silver, honey, antidotes to poison, birds, brahmins versed in the Vedas, aged kinsmen, and people of noble birth fallen into poverty. O Bharata, Manu said that goats, bulls, sandalwood, lutes, mirrors, honey, clarified butter, iron, copper, conch shells, shalagrama (a stone image of Vishnu containing gold), and gorochana should always be kept in the house for the worship of the gods. Brahmins and guests — all these are auspicious.
