Verse 75

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ७५ ॥

In plain words

Spend it on yourself and it goes to your head; give it away and it buys you another birth. Either way the money is wasted — and there is no third road it can take.

Close to the Sanskrit

By enjoyment, intoxication for the creature; by giving, arising again. In both ways wealth is merely in vain; there is indeed no other course.
