Chapter 182
Devanagari script
सर्प उवाच सुप्रज्ञममपि चेच्छूरमृद्धिमोहयते नरम् | वर्तमान: सुखे सर्वो मुह्मतीति मतिर्मम,सर्पने कहा--राजन्! यह धन-सम्पत्ति बड़े-बड़े बुद्धिमान् और शूरवीर मनुष्यको भी मोहमें डाल देती है। मेरा तो ऐसा विश्वास है कि सुख-विलासमें डूबे हुए सभी लोग मोहित हो जाते हैं
Translation
A serpente disse: “Ó rei! Esta riqueza e prosperidade enfeitiçam até mesmo os homens mais sábios e valentes. Creio que todos os que se afundam em prazeres e deleites acabam tomados pela ilusão.”
