Verse 13

¹³A begging man should not touch a young woman even with his foot, not even one made of wood. Touching her he would be bound, as the elephant is bound by coming against the body of a cow-elephant. ¹⁴A man of discernment should never go after a woman: she is his own death. He would be killed by others stronger than he is, as one elephant is killed by other elephants. ¹⁵What the greedy have piled up with pain is neither given away nor enjoyed. Someone else enjoys it, every bit of it, as the honey-gatherer who knows where the wealth lies takes the honey. ¹⁶Householders long for the blessings of a home and earn their money in great pain; and it is the wandering ascetic who eats before them, like the honey-gatherer.
