Abhanga 364Confession and Sin

The Sense of Sin

English Translation · I.P. 364

IF a man has two wives, sin dwells in his house; you need not go searching for sin; one who wants it need only visit him. No long reflections on the subject are needed. Where there is falsehood, there is a heap of sin; where men speak the truth, there pleasures come welling up. Tuka says, Profit and loss are not far apart.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
