**भावार्थ:** In this world, mother, father, brother, etc., are favorable and agreeable only when their desired object is obtained. Even a wealthy person, knowing their good qualities and deeds, does not give wealth. Because in this world, everyone is constantly engrossed in the growth of their own self-interest. Therefore, who among the connoisseurs of worldly happiness (**pramata**) is interested in calling this happiness? ||14||
**भावार्थ:** Alas! When their great self-interest is fulfilled, people embrace those (**nirdhan** or lowly or relatives) individuals with praise, prestige, or wealth, giving their lives for them. When self-interest is not fulfilled, they ruthlessly abandon them like straw. Thus, worldly people harbor poison in their hearts and nectar in their mouths, betraying trust. If you are not distressed (**vairagya**) by such a world, then what is the benefit of saying more? Nothing at all. ||15||
**भावार्थ:** With beautiful appearances, they create joy, but when these appearances are marred, even the wealthy and virtuous become distressed. ||36||
