Translation
‘A mansion towering above all other houses; sons acclaimed by the wise men; wealth acquired beyond the measure of counting; wife endowed with all virtues and still on the threshold of youth’ The man being ignorant and stupid believes that the world endowed with all these (above mentioned factors) is a permanent source of bliss and enters the ‘dungeon of mundane existence’. The wise man who understands well the ephemeral nature of everything; and renounces (the desire for such things), is blessed indeed. ॥ 20 ॥
