ete pañcadaśānarthā hy artha-mūlā matā nṛṇām /
tasmād anartham arthākhyaṃ śreyo-'rthī dūratas tyajet //
18 & 19. Theft, harmfulness, falsehood, hyprocrisy, passion, revenge, deep anger, pride, haughtiness, discord, enmity, distrust, envy, jealousy, passionate longing for women, gambling, etc., these fifteen evils that assail men have indeed their source in wealth: therefore the evil that goes by the name of wealth should altogether be abandoned by one bent on securing the highest good.
