Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 28
अन्यच्च । लोभात्क्रोधः प्रभवति लोभात्कामः प्रजायते ।
लोभान्मोहश्च नाशश्च लोभः पापस्य कारणम् ॥ २७॥
अन्यच्च । असंभवं हेममृगस्य जन्म तथापि रामो लुलुभे मृगाय ।
प्रायः समापन्नविपत्तिकाले धियोऽपि पुंसां मलिना भवन्ति ॥
Again, from greed proceeds disquietude, from greed springs up the desire (for pleasures), and from greed result infatuation and (finally) ruin; greed is the root of sin. And again, the existence of a gold deer was impossible and yet Rama coveted (such) a deer as a general rule when (some) calamity is impending the talents of men become clouded.
