If greed is present, what need of any vice? If slander is present, what need of sins? / If truth is present, what need of ascetic austerity? If the mind is pure, what need of a sacred bath? / If goodness is present, what need of virtues? If great renown is present, what need of ornaments? / If true learning is present, what need of riches? If disgrace is present, what need of death?
