धनानि च निधीन्गृह्य स्वसैन्येन समावृतः । नादेन महता देवान्द्रावयामास सर्वशः
dhanāni ca nidhīngṛhya svasainyena samāvṛtaḥ | nādena mahatā devāndrāvayāmāsa sarvaśaḥ
धन व निधी हस्तगत करून, आपल्या सैन्याने वेढलेला तो, प्रचंड गर्जनेने देवांना सर्व दिशांनी पळवून लावू लागला।

Greed and conquest create disorder; dharma ultimately restores balance, but adharma may temporarily appear triumphant.
