172. Who shrink with shame from sin; refrain from coveting which brings ruin.
173. For spiritual bliss who long, for fleeting joy commit no wrong.
174. The truth-knowers of sense-control, though in want covet not at all.
175. What is one's subtle wisdom worth, if it deals ill with all on earth.
176. Who seeks for grace on righteous path, Suffers by evil covetous wealth.
177. Shun the fruit of covetousness, all its yield is inglorious.
178. The mark of lasting wealth is shown, by not coveting others' own.
