How does the Devil triumph over Pahom in the story how much land does a man need?

In the story "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" by Leo Tolstoy, the Devil triumphs over Pahom by exploiting his greed and desire for more land. Pahom is initially content with his modest plot, but when he learns about the Bashkirs' offer of land, his ambition drives him to overreach. He ultimately succumbs to the temptation to claim more land than he can manage, leading to his tragic demise when he pushes himself beyond his limits. In the end, his insatiable greed results in his death, and he is buried in the very land he sought to possess, illustrating the futility of his desires.
