Theft, violence, speaking lies, duplicity, lust, anger, perplexity, pride, quarreling, enmity, faithlessness, envy and the dangers caused by women, gambling and intoxication are the fifteen undesirable qualities that contaminate men because of greed for wealth. Although these qualities are undesirable, men falsely ascribe value to them. One desiring to achieve the real benefit of life should therefore remain aloof from undesirable material wealth.
Purport
The words anartham arthākhyam, or “undesirable wealth,” indicate wealth that cannot be efficiently engaged in the loving service of the Lord. Such superfluous money or property will undoubtedly pollute a man with all of the above-mentioned qualities and therefore should be given up.

Translation
Theft, violence, speaking lies, duplicity, lust, anger, perplexity, pride, quarreling, enmity, faithlessness, envy and the dangers caused by women, gambling and intoxication are the fifteen undesirable qualities that contaminate men because of greed for wealth. These are the fifteen anarthas. One desiring to achieve the real benefit of life should therefore remain aloof from these anarthas which men believe are valuable.
As well more undesirable qualities manifest. Dangers arise from women, gambling and drinking. Along with the four qualities from the previous verse, there are nineteen qualities. The four qualities give rise to suffering. The fifteen qualities give rise to sin. They are the cause of fifteen anarthas.
