3.29
ye santoṣa-nirantara-pramuditas teṣāṃ na bhinnā mudo
ye tv anye dhana-lubdha-saṅkala-dhiyas tesāṃ na tṛṣṇāhatā |
itthaṃ kasya kṛte kutaḥ sa vidhinā kīdṛk-padaṃ sampadāṃ
svātmany eva samāpta-hema-mahimā merur na me rocate ||
Those who are constantly delighted with contentment do not have their joy broken; / as for others whose minds are entangled in greed for wealth, their craving is never destroyed. / Thus, for whose sake and whence did the Creator fashion Meru as a pinnacle of wealth, / whose glory of gold ends only in itself? It does not please me.
