सुखादविद्योदेत्युच्चैस्तदेवान्ते प्रयच्छति ।
दुःखादविद्योदेत्युच्चैस्तदेवैषा फलत्यलम् ॥ ४ ॥

sukhādavidyodetyuccaistadevānte prayacchati |
duḥkhādavidyodetyuccaistadevaiṣā phalatyalam || 4 ||

Prosperity gives rise to our ignorance of desiring to be more prosperous in this or in our next lives (by means of our performance of ceremonial rites), which are productive of future welfare also. So doth adversity lead us to greater error of practising many malpractices to get rid of it; but which on the contrary expose us to greater misfortunes.
