इदमद्य मया लब्धमिमं प्राप्स्ये मनोरथम् । इदमस्तीदमपि मे भविष्यति पुनर्धनम् ॥ १३ ॥
idam adya mayā labdham imaṁ prāpsye manoratham idam astīdam api me bhaviṣhyati punar dhanam
Translation
"This I have gained today; this desire I shall fulfil. This wealth is mine, and more will be mine again."
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
"आज मैंने यह पा लिया, अब यह मनोरथ पूरा करूँगा। यह धन मेरे पास है, और फिर यह भी मेरा हो जाएगा।"
Commentary
In verses 13–15 Krishna gives voice to the demonic mind in its own words, and it sounds uncomfortably familiar. The thinking moves in circles: what I have today, what I will get next, what is mine, what will be mine. There is no moment of enough.
