35
Because it destroys fame and righteousness, brings about all transgressions, / gives rise to slaughter and imprisonment, and awakens wicked intentions, / is the sole cause of ruinous fate, blocks the embrace of a fortunate rebirth, / and brings forth strife, a wise man does not desire to seize ungranted wealth. (35)
