Furthermore, those who are ghost kings are called noble; those who are driven and enslaved are called base. What about poverty and wealth? Answer: Those with mighty virtue have an abundance of food and clothing, and servants at their command; these are called wealthy. Those whose bodies are constantly driven and harassed, always subjected to forced labor, who never hear of even coarse food, and for whom ragged clothes are hard to come by—those of this sort are called poor. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.62) - [Next: 6.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.64) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.6.63) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.6.63) · Pramāṇa
