Six true joys: wealth, health, loving wife, sweet speech, obedient son, and gainful knowledge—these comprise the blessings of life, O King.
Wealth stays home, relatives to the pyre. Only good and bad deeds follow the soul. This highlights karma's enduring bond.
For those obsessed with wealth, lust, learning, or hunger—no friend, fear, sleep, or strength remains. These overpower all other concerns.
When obsessed with wealth, wisdom flees like a mouse from a cat. But wealth should be sought with clarity like a swan and valor like a lion to win.
Wealth brings pain whether held or lost. They are hard to abandon yet difficult to manage. So, one should not mourn their loss excessively.
All human needs—dharma, desire, heaven, life—depend on wealth. Without wealth, even the journey of life doesn't progress.
Losing wealth sends one to pilgrimage, truth to hell, yoga to spiritual practice, and kingdom to wandering. Every loss redirects purpose.
Though one decides between gain and loss, clever messengers pretending to be wise often ruin noble aims.
Knowing good and bad of wealth, one should act accordingly—accumulating what is virtuous, discarding what is harmful.
Wealth may be absent, yet desire grips me. My mind is addicted to craving. What use is grief when even life leaves willingly?
