8.19.42
athaitat pūrṇamabhyātmaṃ yac ca nety anṛtaṃ vacaḥ /
sarvaṃ nety anṛtaṃ brūyāt sa duṣkīrtiḥ śvasan mṛtaḥ //
42. Again the term “No” described as Anrita means repletion to himself (for by refusing to give to another he has his stock unspent and is trying to add to it by thinking that he has not sufficient); but it would not do for him to say, No, in all cases; for he would thereby reap bad reputation and be a dead man while alive.
