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
由贪欲生渴爱（tṛṣṇā），由渴爱起忧思与筹虑。为贪所染之人，先多得罗阇斯（rajas）之性；及其所求既得，塔摩斯（tamas）之性又更增盛。
