cakāra sor'thaṃ dharmeṇa dharmamarthena vā punaḥ /
tayoścaivāvirodhena bubhuje viṣayānapi //

And there were born to him sons, mighty and valiant, righteous in soul, magnanimous, who were adversaries to evil conduct. And he amassed wealth by means of righteousness, and righteousness again by means of wealth; and since those two things are not antagonistic, he enjoyed even the pleasures of sense. Thus many years passed away as if but a single day, while he ruled the earth, devoted to righteousness, wealth and the gratification of his desires. No feelings of indifference occurred while he enjoyed his loved objects of sense; nor again did he grow satiated in amassing righteousness and wealth.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
