Transliteration

muktas tato yadi bandhād devadatta upācchinatti tasmād api viṣṇumitra ity anavasthitiḥ.
Synonyms
muktaḥ — liberated; tataḥ — from that; yadi — if; bandhāt — from the government imprisonment or being beaten by the protector of the woman; deva-dattaḥ — person named Devadatta; upācchinatti — takes the money from him; tasmāt — from the person named Devadatta; api — again; viṣṇu-mitraḥ — a person named Viṣṇumitra; iti — thus; anavasthitiḥ — the riches do not stay in one place but pass from one hand to another.

Translation

Stealing or cheating another person out of his money, the conditioned soul somehow or other keeps it in his possession and escapes punishment. Then another man, named Devadatta, cheats him and takes the money away. Similarly, another man, named Viṣṇumitra, steals the money from Devadatta and takes it away. In any case, the money does not stay in one place. It passes from one hand to another. Ultimately no one can enjoy the money, and it remains the property of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
