3.54

phalam alam aśanāya svādu pānāya toyaṃ
kṣitir api śayanārthaṃ vāsase valkalaṃ ca |
nava-ghana-madhupāna-bhrānta-sarvendriyāṇāmavinayam
anumantuṃ notsahe durjanānām ||

Fruit is enough for food, sweet water for drinking, / the ground too for sleeping, and bark garments for clothing; / I cannot bring myself to approve the insolence of wicked persons / whose senses are all bewildered by drinking the intoxicating honey of fresh wealth.
