Chapter 16 — Daivasura Sampad Vibhaga Yoga • Verse 16.12
आशापाशशतैर्बद्धाः कामक्रोधपरायणाः ।
ईहान्ते कामभोगार्थमन्यायेनार्थसञ्चयान् ॥
Bound by hundreds of cords of hope, given to lust and anger, they strive unjustly to accumulate wealth for sensual ends.
आशा‑पाश शतों से बँधे, काम‑क्रोध परायण, अन्याय से काम‑भोग हेतु धन संचय करते।
Life Lesson:
Hope without dharma becomes a trap.
धर्महीन आशा—फन्दा।
