What affliction does a greedy person not bear? What action does he not do? One, whose eyes are blinded by the knife of greed, does not scruple to launch even his parents into calamity.

The greedy ones who tormented the people mercilessly and filled their storehouses with wealth they seized, and those who fought in terrible battles and created the horrible scene of universal destruction; were not able to take anything with them at the time of death. They, who have bitterly degraded themselves by their own heinous deeds, were forced to go alone with their humiliated faces.
