One may be seen to seek riches by hundreds of means (and yet failing to acquire it); while another, without at all seeking it, gets it. Men may be seen doing evil deeds continually (for wealth) and yet they do not gain it.
मार्गत्यायशतैरथानमार्गश्चापरः सुखी॥ अकार्यमसकृत् कृत्वा दृश्यन्ते ह्यधना नराः।
