A wicked and contentious Brahmin who insults others brings both giver and receiver to hell when gifts are offered to him. Both the beggar and the patron are ruined, like a goldsmith who burns down the forest along with himself. Building a boat of stone costs great effort and expense, yet it has no place to float and sinks the vessel of those who would cross. Says Tuka, giving one's store to a thief who robs the roads brings ruin to both sides through their stubbornness.
