येषामर्थे सततमहितं चिन्तयस्यात्मनोऽपि, कृत्याकृत्यं गणयसि पुन व पापं च पुण्यम् । गाढं धूलि क्षिपसि शिरसि प्राणिनो हंसि चान्यानिकं ते पुत्रा नरककुहरे भागमाजस्त्वया स्युः ॥१४॥
Meaning :- Oh! old person ! you worry day and night that your sons should get money; you do not consider simply for their sake what is good for you and what is bad; you throw dust on the heads of the people, harass them, and trouble them, being infatuated by the love for your sons; you come in the way of others' livelihood because of your sons' sake. But are you sure that those sons of yours will afford you shelter when you will be thrown headlong in the hellish regions as an inevitable result of your misdeeds ? Not for a moment even. They shall not shield you, though they may be rolling in wealth. (14)
