36. That person who in this world proud of his wealth and haughtily looks askance (at things), who suspects all as depriving him of his money and who in his anxiety about the decay and loss of his fortune remains with his heart and face parched up and knows no ease of heart and like a devil keeps watch over his treasure becomes transformed into an ugly devil of producing, extorting and watching money and falls into a hell called *Suchimukha* where the servants of Dharma Raja bind, like weavers, with threads all over the sinful person that has been the demon of wealth.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
