Verse 57·VR 2.21.57
यस्मिंस्तु सर्वे स्युरसन्निविष्टा | धर्मो यतः स्यात् तदुपक्रमेत | द्वेष्यो भवत्यर्थपरो हि लोके | कामात्मता खल्वपि न प्रशस्ता || २-२१-५७
yasmi.nstu sarve syurasannivishhTaa | dharmo yataH syaat tadupakrameta | dveshhyo bhavatyarthaparo hi loke | kaamaatmataa khalvapi na prashastaa || 2-21-57
Translation
"Only such an action, which is righteous, is to be initiated, leaving that in which wealth, desire and righteousness do not come together. One who is intested in wealth alone becomes indeed fit to be hated in the world. So also the one whose very essence is desire, cannot indeed be considered good.
