न वल्गति महत्तस्य राजते हृद्वनं ततम् ॥ १७ ॥

yasya cittatarau sphāre tṛṣṇācapalamarkaṭī |
na valgati mahattasya rājate hṛdvanaṃ tatam || 17 ||

The spacious garden of human heart, doth so long flourish with the fruits of humanity and greatness, as the restless ape of avarice does not infest its fair trees.
