∗ Cf. Manusamhitā II 224: "(Some declare that) the chief good consists in (the acquisition of) spiritual merit and wealth, (others place it) in (the gratification of) desire and (the acquisition of) wealth, (others) in (the acquisition of) spiritual merit alone, and (others say that the acquisition of) wealth alone is the chief good here (below); but the (correct) decision is that it is the aggregate of (these) three." Cf. Ibid VI 34-37; XII 88-90. Also compare Kauṭilya's Arthaśāstra I 7 : Śukranīti III 2.
