11.23.16

yaśo yaśasvināṃ śuddhaṃ ślāghyā ye guṇināṃ guṇāḥ /
lobhaḥ sv-alpo 'pi tān hanti śvitro rūpam ivepsitam //

16. The pure glory of the glorious and the excellent qualities of those who are good, are spoiled by covetousness, however little it may be, just as a leprous spot makes the desired (exquisite) beauty detestable.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
