Many of the worst things people do to each other grow around money. Seeing the list helps us notice them in ourselves.

लोग एक-दूसरे के साथ जो सबसे बुरा करते हैं, उसमें बहुत कुछ धन के इर्द-गिर्द पनपता है। यह सूची हमें अपने भीतर इन्हें पहचानने में मदद करती है।

The brahmin begins listing fifteen evils that grow from wealth (the count is completed in the next verse; the 'vices' are traditionally three: women, drink and gambling).
