9.5.1.17
atha hāsurāḥ | āsaktyanṛtaṃ vadanta ūṣa iva pipisurāḍhyā ivāsustasmādu haitadya āsaktyanṛtaṃ vadatyūṣa ivaiva pisyatyāḍhya iva bhavati parā ha tvevāntato bhavati parā hyasurā abhavan
And the Asuras, speaking untruth diligently, throve even as salt soil, and were very prosperous: whence he who speaks untruth diligently, thrives indeed, even as salt soil, and becomes very prosperous; but in the end he assuredly comes to naught, for the Asuras indeed came to naught.
