Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 134
दारिद्र्याद्ध्रियमेति ह्रीपरिगतः सत्त्वात्परिभ्रश्यते
निःसत्त्वः परिभूयते परिभवान्निर्वेदमापद्यते ।
निर्विण्णः शुचमेति शोकनिहतो बुद्ध्या परित्यज्यते ।
निर्बुद्धिः क्षयमेत्यहो निधनता सर्वापदामास्पदं ॥
From poverty a man comes to have shame, overwhelmed with shame he loses moral fortitude. With his moral fortitude lost he suffers contempt; being contemned he feels dejected. Full of dejection he comes to sorrow; when overcome with sorrow he is forsaken by reason; with his reason gone, he passes on to destruction. Want of wealth, alas, is the abode of all misfortunes.
