These two should be thrown into the water, tightly binding weights to their necks, viz., a wealthy man that doth not give away, and a poor man that is proud. These two, O tiger among men, can pierce the orb itself of the sun, viz., a mendicant accomplished in yoga, and a warrior that hath fallen in open fight. O bull of the Bharata race, persons versed in the Vedas have said that men’s means are good, middling, and bad. Men also, O king, are good, indifferent, and bad.

In plain words: Vidura says a rich person who never gives and a poor person who is proud deserve to be thrown in water with stones tied to their necks. A monk perfected in yoga and a warrior who dies fighting honestly rise beyond the sun. He adds that people and their ways of acting can be good, middling, or bad.
