Sanskrit Text
अर्थार्थमन्यद्भवति
विपरीतमथापरम्
।
अनर्थार्थमथाप्यन्यत्तत्सर्वं
ह्यर्थलक्षणम्
।
एवं
बुद्ध्या
संप्रपश्येन्मेधावी
कार्यनिश्चयम्
॥
English Translation
Virtue is not always the root of Profit, for other things then Virtue lead to Wealth. There is again the opposite view. In some cases, Wealth acquired has produced evil. Other things again than Wealth have brought on the acquisition of Virtue. Therefore, an ignorant man, whose understanding has been debased by ignorance, never succeeds in acquiring the highest object of Virtue and Profit, viz., Emancipation.
