Kural 931<\/p>\n
Do not take to gambling, even if you can win,
\nfor your wins will be like the baited hooks that fish swallow.
\nKural 932<\/p>\n
To win once, a gambler loses a hundred times.
\nWhat a way to procure happiness and prosperity!
\nKural 933<\/p>\n
Incessantly calling bets on rolling dice causes
\na man’s rich reserves and potential revenues to run elsewhere.
\nKural 934<\/p>\n
Gambling brings on many miseries and erodes one’s good name.
\nNothing else ends in such wretched poverty.
\nKural 935<\/p>\n
Desiring to win everything, those who love the dice,
\nthe gambling hall and their lucky hand lose it all.
\nKural 936<\/p>\n
Gambling is Misfortune’s other name. Fools ensnared by her
\nwill suffer an empty stomach and distressing sorrows.
\nKural 937<\/p>\n
Spending time in the gambling hall squanders
\nancestral wealth and wastes personal worth.
\nKural 938<\/p>\n
Gambling will consume a man’s wealth and corrupt his honesty.
\nIt will curtail his benevolence and increase his torment.
\nKural 939<\/p>\n
Those who take to gambling’s fickle gain forfeit these five:
\nraiments, riches, rations, renown and erudition.
\nKural 940<\/p>\n
The gambler’s passion increases with the losses incurred.
\nEven so does the soul’s craving for life grow with the griefs suffered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
