Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 25-26


Sanskrit:

किमनेन कृतं पुण्यमवधूतेन भिक्षुणा ।श्रिया हीनेन लोकेऽस्मिन् गर्हितेनाधमेन च ॥ २५ ॥योऽसौ त्रिलोकगुरुणा श्रीनिवासेन सम्भृत: ।पर्यङ्कस्थां श्रियं हित्वा परिष्वक्तोऽग्रजो यथा ॥ २६ ॥

ITRANS:

kim anena kṛtaṁ puṇyamavadhūtena bhikṣuṇāśriyā hīnena loke ’smingarhitenādhamena ca

Translation:

[The residents of the palace said:] What pious acts has this unkempt, impoverished brāhmaṇa performed? People regard him as lowly and contemptible, yet the spiritual master of the three worlds, the abode of Goddess Śrī, is serving him reverently. Leaving the goddess of fortune sitting on her bed, the Lord has embraced this brāhmaṇa as if he were an older brother.
