यस्त्वासक्तमतिर्गेहे पुत्रवित्तैषणातुरः । स्त्रैणः कृपणधीर्मूढो ममाहमिति बध्यते ।। ११-१७-५६ ।।

sanskrit

But a householder whose mind is attached to his home and who is thus disturbed by ardent desires to enjoy his money and children, who is lusty after women, who is possessed of a miserly mentality and who unintelligently thinks, “Everything is mine and I am everything,” is certainly bound in illusion. ।। 11-17-56 ।।
