tathaiva cottaratrāpi svāhā tatsambhavādbhavet |
daivena mānuṣeṇaiva vittenā''mutrikaihikam |
karma kartumalaṃ yasmātprārthyate tena taddvayam || 81 ||
English translation of verse 1.81:

Notes:
Knowledge is the divine wealth; human wealth is material wealth such as gold (daiva-vittaṃ jñānam, mānuṣavittaṃ suvarṇādi). Both of them, knowledge and material wealth, are necessary for performing a rite.
