4.70

'Fire's vapor rising forms smoke; / Cloud-vapor densely gathering forms clouds. / Divine nāgas spew moisture as mist; / Blown dust dirtying people is dust. / Alcohol is the gate to negligence; / Lust is the source of saṃsāra. / Gold and silver give rise to heavy perils; / Wrong livelihood destroys the root of the precepts.'
