Chapter 6 - Poverty And Wealth

If a certain man or woman does not give to charity, and prevents others from giving, as a result of this evil deed, he or she will be born in Hell (Niraya). If born again in the human abode, such a person will be poor. But if one gives charity, one will be born in a happy celestial (Deva) plane; if one comes to be born as a human being one will be wealthy.
