अध्याय ३३१: नारायणकथा-प्रशंसा तथा नारदस्य श्वेतद्वीप-निवृत्ति एवं बदरी-आगमनम् | Chapter 331: Praise of the Nārāyaṇa Narrative; Nārada’s Return from Śvetadvīpa and Arrival at Badarī
Devanagari script
संचिन्वानकमेवैनं कामानामवितृप्तकम् । व्याप्र: पशुमिवासाद्य मृत्युरादाय गच्छति,जैसे जंगलमें नयी-नयी घासकी खोजमें विचरते हुए अतृप्त पशुको सहसा व्याघ्र आकर दबोच लेता है, उसी प्रकार भोगोंकी खोजमें लगे हुए अतृप्त मनुष्यको मृत्यु उठा ले जाती है
Transliteration
sañcinvānakam evainaṁ kāmānām atṛptakam | vyāghraḥ paśum ivāsādya mṛtyur ādāya gacchati ||
Translation
Nārada said: “Death carries off the man who keeps accumulating objects of desire yet remains unsated—just as a tiger suddenly seizes an animal wandering in the forest in search of ever-fresh grass.”
