Translations
"I have gained this today; I will fulfill this desire of mine; this is mine, and this wealth will be mine in the future."
Today I have gained this; tomorrow I will fulfill another desire; this wealth is mine now, and the rest will soon be mine.
'I have gained this today; I will acquire this desired object. This is in hand; and this wealth will also come to me.'
इतनी वस्तुएँ तो हमने आज प्राप्त कर लीं और अब इस मनोरथको प्राप्त (पूरा) कर लेंगे।,इतना धन तो हमारे पास है ही, इतना धन फिर हो जायगा।Commentary
I will be able to acire all that the world possesses. Then I will be the lord of all wealth. No one will be eal to me on the surface of this earth. In future Next year this wealth also shall be mine. I will be known to the world as a man of immense wealth. People will address me as my lord. These demons (who think like this) become selfconceited on account of their wealth. Their heads are swollen with pride. They regard everyone else as worthless as straw. Pride of wealth destroyes their power of discrimination.
They strive for happiness but they never obtain it. They are entangled in the meshes of Maya. They are wedded to sin and misry here and hereafter.
