Verse 14

¹⁴His own life is running out to feed his household, and heedless he does not see that what he came for is ruined. Hurt on every side by the three fires, he still takes his delight in his family and does not weary of it. ¹⁵His mind is settled on his money and never leaves it. He knows what comes of taking another man's wealth, here and after death; and still, his senses unmastered and his wanting unquieted, the householder takes it. ¹⁶Sons of Danu, even a learned man, feeding his household in this way, is not fit for his own world. Holding what is mine and what is another's apart, he goes down into the dark like a man with no wits at all.

¹⁷For no one anywhere, at any time, poor creature, is able to free his own self. He is a tame deer for the sport of women with desiring eyes, and his fetter is the begetting of children. ¹⁸So keep far away, Daityas, from company with Daityas whose whole being is in the senses, and come to Narayana, the first of the gods. He is the release that those loosed from attachment want.
