मूढ जहीहि धनागमतृष्णाम्
कुरु सद्बुद्धिमं मनसि वितृष्णाम् ।
यल्लभसे निजकर्मोपात्तम्
वित्तं तेन विनोदय चित्तं ॥ २ ॥
mūḍha jahīhi dhanāgamatṛṣṇām
kuru sadbuddhimaṃ manasi vitṛṣṇām ।
yallabhase nijakarmopāttam
vittaṃ tena vinodaya cittaṃ ॥ 2 ॥
02. O Young Man! Wealth shall surely pull you magnetically with tremendous force, weave out of its spell by pragmatic reasoning.
The Special technique of escaping its tentacles gets revealed by honest hard work that naturally stems the inflow of intoxicating tendencies. Direct your peaceful moments gained by the strength of your sincere efforts in remembering the great Lord. Your mind shall surely feel that cooling sweetness of contentment.
