Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 20


Sanskrit:

अधनोऽयं धनं प्राप्य माद्यन्नुच्चैर्न मां स्मरेत् ।इति कारुणिको नूनं धनं मेऽभूरि नाददात् ॥ २० ॥

ITRANS:

adhano ’yaṁ dhanaṁ prāpyamādyann uccair na māṁ smaretiti kāruṇiko nūnaṁdhanaṁ me ’bhūri nādadāt

Translation:

Thinking “If this poor wretch suddenly becomes rich, he will forget Me in his intoxicating happiness,” the compassionate Lord did not grant me even a little wealth.

Purport:

Sudāmā’s statement that Lord Kṛṣṇa bestowed on him “not even a little wealth” may also be taken to mean that instead of giving him wealth that was abhuri, “slight,” the Lord in fact gave him the immense treasure of His association. This alternate meaning has been suggested by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī.
