ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૮:૮
જે કોઈ ભારે વ્યાજ તથા નફો લઈને પોતાની સંપત્તિની વૃદ્ધિ કરે છે તે દરિદ્રી પર દયા રાખનારને માટે તેનો સંગ્રહ કરે છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २८:८
जो अपना धन ब्याज से बढ़ाता है , वह उसके लिये बटोरता है जो कंगालों पर अनुग्रह करता है।

In context

6Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.

7Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.

8He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.

9He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

10Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good.
