### [63\_181](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.short_stories.bhojaprabandha~en-mt.63_181)

That which is given and that which is enjoyed—that alone is the wealth of the rich. When a man dies, others dally with his surviving women and his wealth. Only the giver is dear to the subjects, not the wealthy man. People of the world yearn for the cloud that gives water, not the ocean which is a storehouse of water.
