Devanagari script
श्रिया हुभीक्ष्णं संवासो मोहयत्यविचक्षणम् । सा तस्य चित्त हरति शारदा भ्रमिवानिल:,“सदा धन-सम्पत्तिका सहवास मूर्ख मनुष्यके चित्तको लुभाकर उसे मोहमें ही डाले रहता है। जैसे वायु शरद्ू-ऋतुके बादलोंको उड़ा ले जाती है, उसी प्रकार वह सम्पत्ति मनुष्यके मनको हर लेती है
Translation
Constant companionship with wealth bewilders the undiscerning. It steals away his mind, as the autumn wind drives off the clouds.
