Shloka 54
योग–सांख्यसमन्वयः, रथोपमा, व्यक्त–अव्यक्तविवेकः
Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction
तथा धर्मादपेतेन कर्मणा गह्ितेन ये । महतः प्राप्तुवन्त्यर्थास्तिषां तत्राभवत् स्पृहा
tathā dharmādapetena karmaṇā garhitena ye | mahataḥ prāptuvanty arthās tiṣāṃ tatrābhavat spṛhā ||
ダルマに背き、非難される行いによって巨万の富を得た者は、まさにその得方にいっそうの渇望を抱く。不義によって多くを得れば得るほど、同じ咎められた道でさらに得ようとする欲は増すばかりである。

Educational Q&A
Wealth gained through adharma tends to intensify greed: success by blameworthy means reinforces the same pattern, making desire (spṛhā) grow rather than bringing contentment.
Śakra (Indra) is explaining a moral principle: when people secure great riches through condemned, dharma-opposed actions, they become even more eager to repeat that very mode of acquisition.
