Devanagari script
अज्ञानप्रभवो लोभो भूतानां दृश्यते सदा । अस्थिरत्वं च भोगानां दृष्टवा ज्ञात्वा निवर्तते,प्राणियोंका भोगोंके प्रति जो लोभ देखा जाता है, वह अज्ञानके ही कारण है। भोगोंकी क्षणभड्भुरताको देखने और जाननेसे उसकी निवृत्ति हो जाती है
Transliteration
ajñānaprabhavo lobho bhūtānāṃ dṛśyate sadā | asthiratvaṃ ca bhogānāṃ dṛṣṭvā jñātvā nivartate ||
Translation
ഭീഷ്മൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ജീവികളിൽ എപ്പോഴും കാണപ്പെടുന്ന ലോഭം അജ്ഞാനത്തിൽ നിന്നാണ് ഉദിക്കുന്നത്. എന്നാൽ ഭോഗങ്ങളുടെ അസ്ഥിരതയും ക്ഷണഭംഗുരതയും കണ്ടറിഞ്ഞാൽ ആ ലോഭം മാറിപ്പോകുന്നു.
