कुलाज्ज्ञानात् तथैश्वर्यान्मदो भवति देहिनाम् | एभिरेव तु विज्ञातै: स च सद्यः प्रणश्यति
Translation
Из гордыни за знатный род, за превосходное знание и за власть и богатство у воплощённых возникает mada — опьянение самодовольством. Но когда познана их подлинная природа, это опьянение тотчас исчезает.
