There are people, who due to lack of right knowledge, amass great wealth through evil deeds; get entangled in the web of evil karmas. They bind grave karmas due to love, hatred and animosity and depart from this world leaving behind their wealth, to be reborn in hell.
वित्तेण ताणं ण लभे पमत्ते, इमम्मि लोए अदुवा परत्था । दीप्पण व अनंत मोहे, णेयाउयं दमदमेव
VITTEŅA TĀŅAM NA LABHE PAMATTE, IMAMMI LOE ADUVĀ PARATTHĀ DĪVAPPAṆATTHE VA AṆAMTA MOHE, NEYĀUYAM DAṬṬHUMADAṬṬHUMEVA
A negligent soul is not protected by its wealth while living in this present world (loka) or the future births (parloka). The path that was visible in sunlight becomes invisible in the darkness of night. Similarly, a negligent (pramadi) person is unable to see the path to emancipation, because his lamp of knowledge has been turned off.
