notes.79

79. Vinītā and Feer have acknowledged the difficulty of translating this verse. We follow, with some changes, the translation suggested by Jonathan Silk in his review of Vinītā (Silk 2013, p.70). Skt1 and Skt2 read parasya vittaṃ bahuduḥkhasaṃcitaṃ/ na cāpy adattaṃ manasāpi saṃspṛśet/ dṛṣṭvāpi loke priyaviprayogaṃ/ tathaiva cānyeṣu hitāya tiṣṭhet: “Others have acquired wealth with much difficulty, so one should not touch, even mentally, what is not given. Having experienced separation from what one loves in the world, just so one should be steady for the benefit of others.”
