Wika ni Śakra: “Dahil sa takot sa galit ng mga anak na lalaki, ang mga ama—matapos magsikap nang natatangi para sa kanila—madalas na hinahati at ibinibigay ang lahat ng yaman sa mga anak, at sila nama’y nabubuhay sa hirap. At ang yamang iyon ay maaari ring mawala—masunog sa apoy, manakaw ng mga magnanakaw, o samsamin ng mga hari.”

Educational Q&A
Wealth is unstable and can be lost through calamity, theft, or state power; therefore one should not cling to possessions or surrender one’s well-being out of fear, but act with discernment and dharma in family and property matters.
Indra (Śakra) describes a common worldly situation: fathers, fearing their sons’ anger, prematurely distribute all their wealth and then live in hardship; he adds that even such wealth is vulnerable to destruction by fire, theft, or confiscation by rulers.
