15.5 Explaining the wonders of wealth, Chanakya says that if a man becomes rich, then even strangers become familiar; wife, son, friends, relations also express affection and become personal. But if some rich person turns poor, even near the ones distance themselves. Wife, son, friends, near ones, relations leave him one after another. This shows that wealth is a true well-wisher of a man. Anyone, who has wealth, also controls happiness.
