A greedy person should always be subdued by giving (sampradāna). A greedy person never finds satisfaction (tṛpti) in another's wealth. Every greedy person is fixated on the enjoyment of actions and their results, and whoever is devoid of resources abandons both their intrinsic nature (dharma) and legitimate desires (kāmau).
