Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 17


Sanskrit:

असावहं ममैवैते देहे चास्यान्वयादिषु ।स्‍नेहपाशैर्निबध्नाति भवान् सर्वमिदं जगत् ॥ १७ ॥

ITRANS:

asāv aham mamaivaitedehe cāsyānvayādiṣusneha-pāśair nibadhnātibhavān sarvam idaṁ jagat

Translation:

You keep this whole world bound up by the ropes of affection, and thus when people consider their material bodies, they think, “This is me,” and when they consider their progeny and other relations, they think, “These are mine.”

Purport:
