Stinginess with dwellings, families, material things, praise, and the teachings.
kulamacchariyassa … lābhamacchariyassa … vaṇṇamacchariyassa … dhammamacchariyassa pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati.
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ macchariyānaṁ pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussatī”ti.
