Having approached Devala, best of sages, / who was seated comfortably on the bank of the Indus, all the sages spoke these words:
The householder is of two kinds, the wanderer and the settled; of these the wanderer is superior, because he avoids officiating, teaching, accepting gifts and hoarding wealth; the settled one keeps to the six works, has servants, cattle, a house, village, wealth and grain, and follows the world.
