[634] Therein, headman (gāmaṇi), that enjoyer of sensual pleasures (kāmabhogī) who seeks wealth unrighteously, by violence, and having sought wealth unrighteously, by violence, does not make himself happy, does not gladden himself, does not share it, and does not make merit — this enjoyer of sensual pleasures, headman, is blameworthy on three grounds. On what three grounds is he blameworthy? 'He seeks wealth unrighteously, by violence' — on this first ground he is blameworthy. 'He does not make himself happy, does not gladden himself'¹ — on this second ground he is blameworthy. 'He does not share it and does not make merit' — on this third ground he is blameworthy. This enjoyer of sensual pleasures, headman, is blameworthy on these three grounds. ¹ Editorial footnote in the Siam Raṭṭha source: "Yu. na-saddo natthi" (in the Yu edition the word "na" is absent).
