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.

Charles Patton, The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras)

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.”
