'न तृप्तिः प्रियलाभेऽस्ति तृष्णा नाद्भिः प्रशाम्यति ।
संप्रज्वलति सा भूयः समिद्भिरिव पावकः ॥
SANTI PARVA
"There is no contentment when the
dear object is attained ; ( the fire of) greed
is not extinguished by the waters
(of objects realised) ; like fire by fuel, it
only blazes forth more.
'पुलाका इव धान्येषु पुत्तिका इव पक्षिषु ।
तद्विधास्ते मनुष्येष येषां धर्मो न कारणम् ॥
"Like chaff among the grains and gnats
among the birds are those among men,
with whom Dharma is not the
motive force.
'सत्यं ब्रह्म तपस्सत्यं स्वर्ग सत्येन गच्छति ।
अनृतं तमसो रूपं तमसा नीयते ह्यधः ।
स्वर्गः : प्रकाश इत्याहुर्नरकं तम एव च ॥
