Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 37
तस्मात्स्नेहं न लिप्सेन मित्रेभ्यो धनसंचयात् । स्वशरीरसमुत्थं च ज्ञानेन विनिर्वतयेत्
tasmātsnehaṃ na lipsena mitrebhyo dhanasaṃcayāt | svaśarīrasamutthaṃ ca jñānena vinirvatayet
Therefore one should not crave attachment—whether arising from friends or from the hoarding of wealth. And whatever arises from one’s own body, one should remove it through knowledge.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta)
Scene: A seeker cutting two cords labeled ‘mitra-sneha’ and ‘dhana-saṃcaya’; a third shadow labeled ‘deha-ja bandha’ dissolves under a lamp labeled ‘jñāna’.
