असदाश्रयते दुःखं स्वप्नवद्धनवासनः ।
रूपालोकमनस्कारान्संकल्परचितानिव ॥ ९ ॥

asadāśrayate duḥkhaṃ svapnavaddhanavāsanaḥ |
rūpālokamanaskārānsaṃkalparacitāniva || 9 ||

The covetous man with his thickening desires, meets with a train of ideal troubles, gathering as thickly about him, as the thronging dreams assailing his head at night. These proceeding from his fondness of outward and visible objects, and from the fond desires inwardly cherished within his heart, grow as thickly upon him as the creation of his wild fancy.
