True wisdom is to take joy in dharma and to make dharma the basis of one’s livelihood; wealth should be accepted only when it is acquired through righteous means.
The hunter (vyādha) instructs a Brahmin, emphasizing that a genuinely wise person both delights in dharma and sustains life through it, urging him to rely on wealth earned righteously.
