Kāma–Mamatā–Upadeśa
Discourse on Desire, Possessiveness, and Ritual Duty
Devanagari script
अथवा वसतः: पार्थ वने वन्येन जीवत: । ममता यस्य द्रव्येषु मृत्योरास्ये स वर्तते,किंतु कुन्तीनन्दन! जो वनमें रहकर जंगली फल-मूलोंसे ही जीवन-निर्वाह करता है, उसकी भी यदि द्रव्योंमें ममता है तो वह मौतके मुखमें ही विद्यमान है
Transliteration
athavā vasataḥ pārtha vane vanyena jīvataḥ | mamatā yasya dravyeṣu mṛtyor āsye sa vartate ||
Translation
又者，哦，帕尔塔啊：纵使有人居于林野，只以野生果实维生，若仍以占有之心执著诸物，口口声声“这是我的”，此人已然住在死神之口中。外相的出离并不能救人；唯有内心的不执著，方能使人免于败亡。
