Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 140
इत्यलोच्यापि लोभात्पुनरप्यर्थं ग्रहीतुं ग्रहमकरवम् । तथा चोक्तम् ।
लोभेन बुद्धिश्चलति लोभो जनयते तृषाम् ।
तृषार्तो दुःखमाप्नोति परत्रेह च मानवः ॥
Although I considered thus, yet, from avarice, I made up my mind to hoard wealth. For it is said, Judgment is led astray (warped) by avarice; avarice begets desire; and a man troubled by desire meets with misery both here and hereafter.
