(२) अशरण-भावना
(मन्दाक्रान्तावृत्तम् ) त्यक्त्वा धर्म परमसुखदं वीतरागैश्च चीर्ण, धिकृत्यैवं गुरुविधिवचः शान्तिदान्ती तथैव । भ्रान्त्वा लक्ष्मी कुनयचरितरार्जयस्त्वं तथापि, मृत्यौ देहं प्रविर्शात कथं रक्षितुं सा समर्था ॥१॥
Meaning :- Will you be saved from the clutches of death by the wealth which is begotten by you through evil and unfair practices as well as by leaving aside the religious activities propounded by the prophets who are beyond attachment and hatred as also who are the only givers of highest beattitude, by trampling upon the scriptural injunctions, by disturbing the mental peace and by travelling in the lands, native and foreign ? No; no. All the money that you might have amassed in lacs and crores will not guarantee you exemption and protection from the unavoidable death. (10)
