TEXT 11
- vārtāyāṁ lupyamānāyām
- ārabdhāyāṁ punaḥ punaḥ
- lobhābhibhūto niḥsattvaḥ
- parārthe kurute spṛhām
vārtāyāmwhen his occupation — when his occupation; lupyamānāyāmis hampered — is hampered; ārabdhāyāmundertaken — undertaken; punaḥagain and again punaḥagain and again — again and again; lobhaby greed — by greed; abhibhūtaḥoverwhelmed — overwhelmed; niḥsattvaḥruined — ruined; parafor the wealth of others-arthefor the wealth of others — for the wealth of others; kurutehe longs spṛhāmhe longs — he longs.
When he suffers reverses in his occupation, he tries again and again to improve himself, but when he is baffled in all attempts and is ruined, he accepts money from others because of excessive greed.
