Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 19


Sanskrit:

दिष्‍ट्या व्यवसितं भूपा भवन्त ऋतभाषिण: ।श्रीयैश्वर्यमदोन्नाहं पश्य उन्मादकं नृणाम् ॥ १९ ॥

ITRANS:

diṣṭyā vyavasitaṁ bhūpābhavanta ṛta-bhāṣiṇaḥśrīy-aiśvarya-madonnāhaṁpaśya unmādakaṁ nṛṇām

Translation:

Fortunately you have come to the proper conclusion, my dear kings, and what you have spoken is true. I can see that human beings’ lack of self-restraint, which arises from their intoxication with opulence and power, simply leads to madness.
