10.64.38

rājāno rāja-kulyāś ca tāvato 'bdān niraṅkuśāḥ /
kumbhī-pākeṣu pacyante brahma-dāyāpahāriṇaḥ //

36 to 38. 'Kings blinded by their royal fortune are incapable of seeing their own fall (from it)- Those are foolish men who covet brahmins' property as good, which is really hell. Kings, their descendants and relations who, unchecked, deprive liberal-minded brahmins of large family of their means of living and their property, are cooked in the regions of hell called Kumbhipaka for as many years as there are particles of earth moistened with their tears.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
