KAṬHA UPANISHAD · 1.2.3

स त्वं प्रियान्प्रियरूपांश्च कामान्
अभिध्यायन्नचिकेतोऽत्यस्राक्षीः ।
नैतां सृङ्कां वित्तमयीमवाप्तो
यस्यां मज्जन्ति बहवो मनुष्याः ॥ ३॥

sa tvaṃ priyānpriyarūpāṃśca kāmān
abhidhyāyannaciketo’tyasrākṣīḥ ।
naitāṃ sṛṅkāṃ vittamayīmavāpto
yasyāṃ majjanti bahavo manuṣyāḥ ॥ 3॥

And thou, O Nachiketas, hast looked close at the objects of desire, at pleasant things and beautiful, and thou hast cast them from thee; thou hast not entered into the net of riches in which many men sink to perdition.

Sri Aurobindo · CWSA 18, p. 108
