ITRANS:
śrī-brāhmaṇa uvācaparigraho hi duḥkhāyayad yat priyatamaṁ nṛṇāmanantaṁ sukham āpnotitad vidvān yas tv akiñcanaḥ

The saintly brāhmaṇa said: Everyone considers certain things within the material world to be most dear to him, and because of attachment to such things one eventually becomes miserable. One who understands this gives up material possessiveness and attachment and thus achieves unlimited happiness.
