Bhagavad Gita 16.12

Yoga through Discerning the Divine and Demoniac Natures

आशापाशशतैर्बद्धाः कामक्रोधपरायणाः। ईहन्ते कामभोगार्थमन्यायेनार्थसञ्चयान्

āśhā-pāśha-śhatair baddhāḥ kāma-krodha-parāyaṇāḥ īhante kāma-bhogārtham anyāyenārtha-sañchayān

Bound by a hundred ties of hope, given over to lust and anger, they strive to obtain hoards of wealth by unlawful means for sensual enjoyment.

वे आशाकी सैकड़ों फाँसियोंसे बँधे हुए मनुष्य काम-क्रोधके परायण होकर पदार्थोंका भोग करनेके लिये अन्यायपूर्वक धन-संचय करनेकी चेष्टा करते रहते हैं।
