Thirst for wealth is a bond in this world, O son of Pritha. Those, who desire it, go against virtue as it were. He who chooses virtue is wise. The man, who desires pleasure, becomes degraded for the sake of pleasure.
निबन्धनी ह्यर्थतृष्णेह पार्थ तामिच्छता बाध्यते धर्म एव। धर्मं तु यः प्रवृणीते स बुद्धः कामे गृध्नो हीयतेऽर्थानुरोधात्॥
