Shatakatraya 3.58

3.58

abhuktāyāṃ yasyāṃ kṣaṇam api na yātaṃ nṛpa-śatair
dhuvas tasyā lābhe ka iva bahumānaḥ kṣiti-bhṛtām |
tad-aṃśasyāpy aṃśe tad-avaya-leśe 'pi patayo
viṣāde kartavye vidadhati jaḍāḥ pratyuta mudam ||

Over this earth, which has not been unenjoyed by hundreds of kings even for a moment, / what great pride can there possibly be for kings upon gaining it? / Fools, being rulers over a fraction of its fraction, a mere particle of its portion, / actually feel delight when they ought to feel sorrow!
