इदमद्य मया लब्धमिमं प्राप्स्ये मनोरथम् ।इदमस्तीदमपि मे भविष्यति पुनर्धनम् ॥
idamadya mayā labdhamimaṃ prāpsye manoratham |idamastīdamapi me bhaviṣyati punardhanam ||
“I got this today. I will fulfil this desire next. I already have this much, and this wealth will be mine again later…”
Explanation
Krishna is describing people with a demonic (asura) nature, whose minds are fixed on greed. Here he gives their inner speech: always counting what they have gained and what they plan to get next. The verse continues into the next, where the same self-importance turns to enemies and power.
