The description of riches is in divine stories.
Explanation: This small but meaningful statement has been taken from the lesson 'आश्रमवर्णनम्'. In this lesson, the parrot describes the beautiful atmosphere at the ashram of the sage Jabali. The spiritual life of sages at the ashram is beautifully explained. They keep away from the lust and luxury and acquire knowledge by penance, they get the happiness of soul. This statement indicates that the description of wealth is found in divine stories and it is not desired by the sages.
The sages who practise severe penance do not have any affection or greed for wealth as they wish to attain piece of mind. They do not have any desire for wealth. They believe that wealth and lust and luxury disturb piece of mind. Thus, through this statement we are advised to abandon such things and move towards the path of meditation and penance.
