Verse 356. Those Without The Bane Of Passion

Weeds are a fault of fields,
lust’s a human fault,
thus offerings to the lustless
bear abundant fruit.

Explanation: Fields have grasses as their bane. The ordinary masses have passion as their bane. Therefore, high yields are possible only through what is given to the passionless ones.
