[675] "Whoever, O great king, would forsake his supporter for the sake of wealth becomes blameworthy in the eyes of both — of himself and of the other. So long as Vedeha lives, I would not be another's man. Whoever, O great king, would forsake his supporter for the sake of wealth becomes blameworthy in the eyes of both — of himself and of the other. So long as Vedeha endures, I would not dwell in another's realm."
