Translation
The bliss felt by those who are always cheerful, being contended with whatever is there, is never ever broken! For those others whose minds are crowded by the ‘cravings for money’, the ‘thirst for sense pleasures’ is not quenched at all! When it is like this, for whose sake did the Creator create a store house for such enormous wealth as ‘Meru Mountain’ which keeps all the gold within itself and feels glorified? (A wasteful venture indeed!) I do not feel that it is right! ॥ 29 ॥
