Translation
(A MAN OF WEALTH ALONE GETS PRAISED AS A MAN OF VIRTUES)
He who has wealth—he alone is born of a good family; he alone is a scholar; he alone is a master of all scriptures; he alone can recognize the merits of others; he alone is eloquent; he alone is handsome! All good qualities take shelter in gold! ॥ 32 ॥
