4.1.44

varaṃ bhikṣāṭanaṃ sādhornīvārairjīvanaṃ varam |
yodhānna hatvā lobhena śilpena jīvanaṃ varam ||

Rather to live on begging alms and to live on rice, growing wild or without cultivation, or to live as an artisan or artist than to kill the valiant warriors unlawfully in a battle, simply out of voluptuous greed.

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
