15.35

"Constantly delighting in cultivating wisdom
Without practicing dāna,
Wherever born, one is always intelligent and wise,
Yet destitute without property.
Delighting only in practicing dāna
Without cultivating wisdom,
Wherever born, one obtains great wealth,
Yet foolish, dark, and devoid of knowledge and vision.
Cultivating both giving and wisdom,
Wherever born, one is endowed with wealth and intellect;
One who cultivates neither
Dwells in poverty and darkness throughout the long night."
