parikṣīṇaḥ kaścit spṛhayati yavānāṃ prasṛtaye
sa paścāt sampūrṇaḥ kalayati dharitrīṃ tṛṇa-samām |
ataś cānaikāntyād guru-laghutayā 'rtheṣu dhaninām
avasthā vastūni prathayati ca saṅkocayati ca ||

One who is impoverished longs for a handful of barley; / later, having become full [of riches], he considers the earth to be like grass; / hence, because there is no fixed standard, through the greatness or smallness of their wealth, / circumstances magnify and shrink objects for the rich.
