Sanskrit

इदमद्य मया लब्धमिमं प्राप्स्ये मनोरथम् । इदमस्तीदमपि मे भविष्यति पुनर्धनम् ॥16.13॥असौ मया हतः शत्रुर्हनिष्ये चापरानपि । ईश्वरोऽहमहं भोगी सिद्धोऽहं बलवान्सुखी ॥16.14॥आढ्योऽभिजनवानस्मि कोऽन्योऽस्ति सदृशो मया । यक्ष्ये दास्यामि मोदिष्य इत्यज्ञानविमोहिताः ॥16.15॥अनेकचित्तविभ्रान्ता मोहजालसमावृताः । प्रसक्ताः कामभोगेषु पतन्ति नरकेऽशुचौ ॥16.16॥

Meaning

“‘This I have gained today; this desire I shall obtain; this is mine, and this wealth too shall be mine. That enemy I have slain, and others too I shall slay. I am the lord, I am the enjoyer, I am accomplished, powerful, and happy. I am rich and well-born, who else is equal to me? I shall sacrifice, I shall give, I shall rejoice’, thus deluded by ignorance, tossed about by many fancies, enmeshed in the web of delusion, addicted to the gratification of desires, they fall into a foul hell.”
