नक्षत्रम् अति पृच्छन्तं बालम् अर्थो अतिवर्तते । अर्थो ह्य् अर्थस्य नक्षत्रं किं करिष्यन्ति तारकाः ॥

Wealth will pass away from that childish man who inquires most after the stars; for wealth is the star for wealth; what will the stars do?

english translation

न अधनाः प्राप्नुवन्त्य् अर्थान् नरा यत्न शतैर् अपि । अर्थैर् अर्था प्रबध्यन्ते गजाः प्रजिगजैर् इव ॥

Capable men will certainly secure wealth at least after a hundred trials; and wealth is bound by wealth just as elephants are bound by counter-elephants.
