4. When there is the Earth, what is the use of efforts for a bed? Gifted by nature with the use of the arm, what need is there for pillows? When there are the folded palms, what need is there for many utensils to eat from? When there are the cardinal points, barks and such other things, what need is there for (silken) cloths?
2.2.4.p1

5. Are there not rags on the road ? Do not trees that live to maintain other beings give alms (fruits &c.)? Are rivers dried up? Are mountain caves shut (against them)? Does not Sri Krishna the supreme Lord take care of those that seek after Him? For what purpose (then) should the wise resort to those that are blind with the pride of wealth?
