The Māhātmya of Kṛṣṇagaṅgodbhava, Kāliñjara, and the Five Sacred Baths: The Tale of Pāñcāla and Tilottamā
तस्मिन्स्थाने स पाञ्चालः प्रातस्तु पुरुषैः सह ॥ तस्मिंस्तीर्थवरे स्नाप्य वस्त्रालङ्कारभूषितः ॥ ऐश्वर्यमदभावेन यानेन महता तदा
tasminsthāne sa pāñcālaḥ prātas tu puruṣaiḥ saha | tasmiṃstīrthavare snāpya vastrālaṅkārabhūṣitaḥ | aiśvaryamadabhāvena yānena mahatā tadā ||

The phrase aiśvaryamadabhāva indicates an ideal of humility—avoiding pride that can arise from wealth or status.
