yā sādhūṃś ca khalān karoti viduṣo mūrkhān hitān dveṣiṇaḥ
pratyakṣaṃ kurute parīkṣam amṛtaṃ hālāhalaṃ tat-kṣaṇāt |
tām ārādhaya sat-kriyāṃ bhagavatīṃ bhoktuṃ phalaṃ vāñchitaṃ
he sādho vyasanair guṇeṣu vipuleṣv āsthāṃ vṛthā mā kṛthāḥ ||

That which turns the virtuous into rogues, the learned into fools, well-wishers into enemies, / and makes invisible things visible, and deadly poison into nectar in an instant— / revere that divine power of good deeds to enjoy the desired fruit; / O virtuous man, do not fix your hopes in vain upon a vast store of talents through afflictions!
