कृत्वा कामं कपटरचनां दीनदीनानिपीडय, हृत्वा तेषां धनमपि भुवं मोदसे त्वं प्रभूतम् । मत्वा स्वीयान् प्रणयवशतः पुष्यसि भ्रातृवर्गाकष्टेभ्यस्त्वां नरकगमने मोचयिष्यन्ति किं ते ॥१३॥
Meaning :- You are supporting your brothers or nourishing them with the money which you have wrenched from the hands of the poor, whom you are trying to impoverish and harass all the more with your nefarious activities, underhand dealing. cheating, deceiving and what not, because you, being under the spell of love for your brothers, want to make them glad, happy, and satisfied in their hearts. But, remember, these brothers of yours shall never be able to give you the least help or protection when you are about to be thrown in the infernal regions as an inevitable result of your act of coldblooded treachery, deception, roguery, and molestation of others. You yourself shall have to take the conse quences of your unjust and irreligious deeds. You will have no co-sharer. No; not even one. (13)
