तत् सारमखिलं नृणां धनं निचयवर्धनम्। मनसा चिन्तितं सर्वं यथा शुक्रस्य लक्ष्मण ॥

There is not the least doubt that these wild riches filling up their coffers are comparatively far better (than the wealth acquired by other sources) like to the objects of enjoyment, enjoyed at their fancy by the people inhabiting the celestial region.
