इदमद्य मया लब्धमिमं प्राप्स्ये मनोरथम् | इदमस्तीदमपि मे भविष्यति पुनर्धनम्
idamadya mayā labdhamimaṃ prāpsye manoratham . idamastīdamapi me bhaviṣyati punardhanam
« Ceci a été acquis par moi aujourd'hui ; j'obtiendrai cet objet désiré. Ceci est en ma possession ; de nouveau, cette richesse aussi me reviendra. »
'This has been gained by me today; I shall acire this desired object. This is in hand; again, this wealth also will come to me.'
Ces pensées révèlent l'orgueil et la soif insatiable de possession des êtres à la nature démoniaque. Ils se complaisent dans l'acquisition de biens matériels, convaincus de leur supériorité et de leur droit à toujours plus.
I will be able to acire all that the world possesses. Then I will be the lord of all wealth. No one will be eal to me on the surface of this earth.In future Next year this wealth also shall be mine. I will be known to the world as a man of immense wealth. People will address me as my lord.These demons (who think like this) become selfconceited on account of their wealth. Their heads are swollen with pride. They regard everyone else as worthless as straw. Pride of wealth destroyes their power of discrimination. They strive for happiness but they never obtain it. They are entangled in the meshes of Maya. They are wedded to sin and misry here and hereafter.
