The Goddess of wealth is unsteady, and so is the life breath. The duration of life is uncertain, and the place of habitation is uncertain; but in all this inconsistent world religious merit alone is immovable.

He who has wealth has friends and relations; he alone survives and is respected as a man.

As water collected in a tank gets pure by filtration, so accumulated wealth is preserved by being employed in charity.

He who has wealth has friends.

O wise man! Give your wealth only to the worthy and never to others. The water of the sea received by the clouds is always sweet.

Accumulated wealth is saved by spending just as incoming fresh water is saved by letting out stagnant water.
