Verse 19

¹⁹One who has one thing to live by and goes to another for his living gets no good of it, as an unfaithful wife gets none of a lover. ²⁰A brahmin should live by the Veda, a kshatriya by guarding the earth, a vaisya by his trade, and a sudra by serving the twice-born. ²¹Ploughing, trading and cow-keeping, with lending at interest called the fourth: trade is of these four kinds, and ours is always the one with cows. ²²Clarity, passion and darkness are the causes of standing, of coming to be and of ending. By passion this world is brought forth, various and mixed one thing with another. ²³Driven by passion the clouds rain their water down everywhere, and creatures come through on that alone. What will great Indra do?

²⁴We have no cities, no country districts, no villages, and no houses. We live in the forest, father, always at home in the woods and on the hills.
