12.10.6
「受人利養重,壞人清白行;
是故當制心,莫貪著於味。
師利以得定,乃至天帝宮;
便於神通退,墮於屠殺中。
“Taking profit is a serious thing;
It can ruin a person’s clean conduct.
Therefore, you must discipline your thinking;
Don’t take delight in that greedy longing.
Because he attained samādhi, Śrīla
Ascended up to Lord Śakra’s palace.
He regressed from that spiritual knowledge
And then fell back down to a slaughterhouse.”
