Bharadvāja–Bhṛgu Dialogue

Devanagari script

संचिन्वानकमेवैनं कामानामवितृप्तकम्‌ । व्यात्र: पशुमिवादाय मृत्युरादाय गच्छति

Transliteration

sañcinvānakam evainaṃ kāmānām atṛptakam | vyāghraḥ paśum ivādāya mṛtyur ādāya gacchati ||

Translation

Death carries away that very person who keeps hoarding, who remains unsated in desires—just as a tiger seizes and carries off an animal.
