स शेषकारिणतस्तत्र शेषं पश्यन्ति सर्वश: | नि:शेषकारिणो नित्यं नि:शेषकरणाद् भयम्,जो डाकू दूसरोंके धनको शेष छोड़ देते हैं, वे सब ओर अपने धनका भी अवशेष देख पाते हैं; तथा जो दूसरोंके धनमेंसे कुछ भी शेष नहीं छोड़ते, उन्हें सदा अपने धनके भी नि:शेष हो जानेका भय बना रहता है

sa śeṣa-kāriṇatas tatra śeṣaṃ paśyanti sarvaśaḥ | niḥśeṣa-kāriṇo nityaṃ niḥśeṣa-karaṇād bhayam ||
Translation
Bhīṣma said: “Those who, in taking another’s wealth, leave something as a remainder, come to see remainders preserved for themselves on every side as well. But those who leave no remainder—who strip others completely—live constantly in fear that their own wealth too will be utterly exhausted.”
