In plain words
Maitreyī said: 'If this whole earth, filled with wealth, were mine — would that make me immortal?' 'No,' Yājñavalkya said, 'no. Your life would simply be like the life of anyone rich in possessions. Wealth holds no promise of immortality.'

She, Maitreyī, said: 'If, sir, this whole earth full of wealth were mine, how then would I, by that, be immortal?' 'No,' 'no,' said Yājñavalkya. 'Just as is the life of those who possess means, so would your life be. Of immortality, through wealth, there is no hope.'
