25.13.11
sarvam u ced viśvajid eva / (soma: viśvajit)
when all one's property is given or a session, is one which brings all ruin. It is a loss of all if a man gives all without a Viçvajit. If there is a Viçvajit (he should give) all; if (he gives) all, it (should be) a Viçvajit. 'If a man does not give all, saying "Let me give all," he prepares for himself a pitfall, he comes to ruin,' he used to say. 'Or a thousand makes this up,' Kauṣītaki used to say, 'The thousand is all; the Viçvajit is all; by all may I obtain all,' (so thinking he gives a thousand).
