atiriktaiḥ saṃvibhajed bhogair anyān akiñcanān | etasmāt kāraṇād ū dhātrā kusīdaṃ sampravartitam ||
Translation
Bhīṣma sprach: „Von seinen überschüssigen Genüssen und Mitteln soll man mit denen teilen, die nichts besitzen. Aus diesem Grund, o König, setzte der Schöpfer die Praxis des Verleihens gegen Zins in Gang—damit Reichtum in Umlauf komme und die Bedürftigen gestützt werden, statt in Not zurückgelassen zu sein.“
