Or, whom does captured wealth not lead astray from the righteous path, here (in this world) ?
38. ‘Possessed of affluence, a demon and a fool (that he is), (it is ) no wonder that he is arrogant (puffed up with pride). Or what purpose (is there) for the ignoble to abide by the righteous path ?
39. In his abode was seen by me that slim and highly grieved lady whose husband is Rama. I have reported to you this gist of my achievement ; what is the use of narrating the rest of the adventure ?
