3.53

vayam iha parituṣṭā valkalais tvaṃ dukūlaiḥ
sama iha paritoṣo nirviśeṣo viśeṣaḥ |
sa tu bhavatu daridro yasya tṛṣṇā viśālā
manasi ca parituṣṭe ko 'rthavān ko daridraḥ ||

We here are satisfied with bark garments, and you with fine silk; / our satisfaction here is equal, the distinction makes no difference. / But let him be poor whose craving is vast; / when the mind is satisfied, who is wealthy and who is poor?
