___ (शार्दूलविक्रीडितवृत्तम् ) वातोद्वेल्लितदीपकाडरसमां लक्ष्मी जगन्मोहिनी, दृष्ट्वा किं हृदि मोदसे हतमते मत्वा मम श्रीरिति । पुण्यानां विगमेऽथवा मृतिपथं प्राप्तेऽप्रियं तत्क्षणादरिमन्नेव भवे भवत्युभयथा तस्या वियोगः परम् ॥२॥
दामान विगमेऽथवादसे हतमते मत्व जगन्मोहिनी,
Meaning :- Oh! you good person ! the wealth which is able to tempt the whole world is itself ephemeral and tickle like the flame of the lamp that flickers at the gust of the wind. Is it not your stupidity, then, that you consider it as your own even though you see that it is tickle and evanescent ? Oh! you deluded person ! the attainment of wealth depends on the religious merits. The religious merits are after all limited. You will certainly be dissociated from the wealth that you have come to possess on either the termination of your religious merits or when you will be dying on account of the close of your life at a destined period. Be assured, then, that either you will have to pass away leaving the wealth or the wealth will depart from you. Not in the next birth, but in this very birth itself you will be separated from wealth in either of these two ways. (2)
