Vidūṣaka---These sons of whores, the money-matters, are leaving the house like cowherd boys terrified of mosquitoes. But when the grief over the loss of wealth is pondered, it shoots up shoots upon shoots, like a clump of reeds growing tall in the spring. So enough of your distress.
Hero---Friend, why should I be distressed? And besides, am I poor, when I have---
A wife who is obedient to me in wealth or want, and you, a companion in joy and sorrow,
and my inner strength is not lost, which is so hard to find among the poor? (7)
