2.4.2
sā hovāca maitreyī yannu ma iyaṃbhagoḥ sarvā pṛthivī vittena pūrṇā syātkathaṃ tenāmṛtā syāmiti neti hovāca yājñavalkyo yathaivopakaraṇavatāṃ jīvitaṃ tathaiva te jīvitam̐ syādamṛtatvasya tunāśāsti vitteneti
Maitreyî said: 'My Lord, if this whole earth, full of wealth, belonged to me, tell me, should I be immortal by it?'
'No,' replied Yâgñavalkya; 'like the life of rich people will be thy life. But there is no hope of immortality by wealth.'
