पराग्रिक्तमपूर्णं वा अक्षरं यत्तदोमिति । यत्किञ्चिदोमिति ब्रूयात्तेन रिच्येत वै पुमान् । भिक्षवे सर्वमों कुर्वन् नालं कामेन चात्मने ।। ८-१९-४१ ।।

sanskrit

The utterance of the word om signifies separation from one’s monetary assets. In other words, by uttering this word one becomes free from attachment to money because his money is taken away from him. To be without money is not very satisfactory, for in that position one cannot fulfill one’s desires. In other words, by using the word om one becomes poverty-stricken. Especially when one gives charity to a poor man or beggar, one remains unfulfilled in self-realization and in sense gratification. ।। 8-19-41 ।।

अथैतत्पूर्णमभ्यात्मं यच्च नेत्यनृतं वचः । सर्वं नेत्यनृतं ब्रूयात्स दुष्कीर्तिः श्वसन् मृतः ।। ८-१९-४२ ।।

sanskrit

Therefore, the safe course is to say no. Although it is a falsehood, it protects one completely, it draws the compassion of others toward oneself, and it gives one full facility to collect money from others for oneself. Nonetheless, if one always pleads that he has nothing, he is condemned, for he is a dead body while living, or while still breathing he should be killed. ।। 8-19-42 ।।

sanskrit

In flattering a woman to bring her under control, in joking, in a marriage ceremony, in earning one’s livelihood, when one’s life is in danger, in protecting cows and brahminical culture, or in protecting a person from an enemy’s hand, falsity is never condemned. ।। 8-19-43 ।।
