TRANSLATION The demoniac
person thinks: "So much wealth do I have today, and I will gain more according
to my schemes. So much is mine now, and it will increase in the future,
more and more. He is my enemy, and I have killed him; and my other enemy
will also be killed. I am the lord of everything. I am the enjoyer. I am
perfect, powerful and happy. I am the richest man, surrounded by aristocratic
relatives. There is none so powerful and happy as I am. I shall perform
sacrifices, I shall give some charity, and thus I shall rejoice." In this
way, such persons are deluded by ignorance.
