अम्बरीषगाथा—गुणत्रयविभागः तथा लोभनिग्रहः
Ambarīṣa’s Gāthā: The Guṇas and the Restraint of Greed
Devanagari script
लोभाद्धि जायते तृष्णा ततत्रिन्ता प्रवर्तते । स लिप्यमानो लभते भूयिष्ठं राजसान् गुणान् । तदवाप्तौ तु लभते भूयिष्ठं तमसान् गुणान्
Translation
Mula sa kasakiman ay sumisibol ang pagnanasa (tṛṣṇā), at mula sa pagnanasa ay umuusbong ang pag-aalala. Ang taong sakim, na nababahiran nito, ay unang nagkakamit ng maraming katangiang rajas; at kapag nakamit na niya ang ninanais, lalo namang dumarami ang katangiang tamas.
