'regret' is the definition.
(remorse is a feeling of regret)

'capital raised in rupees source of endless' is the wordplay.
'capital raised in' becomes 'remo' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rupees' becomes 'rs'.
'source of' suggests taking the first letters (the start - or source - of the word).
The initial letter of 'endless' is 'e'.
'remo'+'rs'+'e'='REMORSE'

Can you help me to learn more?
