AMANA AND TRIVIKRAMA AVATARAS
 
The L
ord :
 

"King, not all the things that are

dearest in these three worlds can fully

satisfy one of uncontrolled senses.
 

 
'त्रिभिः क्रमैरसन्तुष्टो द्वीपेनापि न पूर्यते ॥
 

"One, not satisfied with three feet, will
 

not be satisfied with even a continent.
 

 
'
सप्तद्वीपाधिपतयो नृपा वैन्यगयादयः ।
 

अर्थैः कामैर्गता नान्तं तृष्णाया इति नः श्रुतम् ॥
 

"We have heard that kings like Vainya

and Gaya did not reach the end of their

avarice for material possessions and

pleasures, though they were lords of (all)
 

the seven continents.
 

 
'पुंसोऽयं संसृतेर्हेतुरसन्तोषोऽर्थकामयोः ।

यदृच्छयोपपन्नेन सन्तोषो मुक्तये स्मृतः ॥
 

"This Non-Contentment in Possession

and Desire is the cause of man's migration

through births and deaths: contentment

with what turns up casually makes for

deliverance.
 

 
'यदृच्छालाभतुष्टस्य तेजो विप्रस्य वर्धते ।

तत्प्रशाम्यत्यसन्तोषादम्भसेवाशुशुक्षणिः ॥
