वार्तायां लुप्यमानायाम् आरब्धायां पुनः पुनः ।
लोभाभिभूतो निःसत्त्वः परार्थे कुरुते स्पृहाम् ॥ ११ ॥
vartayam-when his occupation; lupyamanayam-is hampered; arabdhayam-undertaken; punah punah-again and again; lobha-by greed; abhibhutah-overwhelmed; nihsattvah-ruined; para-arthe-for the wealth of others; kurute sprham-he longs.
When he suffers reverses in his occupation, he tries again and again to improve himself, but when he is baffled in all attempts and is ruined, he accepts money from others because of excessive greed.
