Tirukkural-On Virtue-Avoiding Covetousness-Kural 177
Maandar karidhaam payan
It is well not to think of amassing of wealth through covetousness,
For in its fruits there is no true enjoyment.
When one comes into illegitimate possession of what he has unjustly coveted and acquired, he will find that he is not in a position to enjoy these acquisitions.
In this context we may recall the 'paziyanji' concept of Valluvar propounded in Kural 44. the idea is of 'faultless earning and generous sharing'.
The Bible has a similar passage:
'Ill-gotten wealth brings no profit'.
(Proverbs 10:2)
