Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 8


Sanskrit:

नाहं वेदाभिनिर्मुक्त: सूर्यो वाभ्युदितोऽमुया ।मूषितो वर्षपूगानां बताहानि गतान्युत ॥ ८ ॥

ITRANS:

nāhaṁ vedābhinirmuktaḥsūryo vābhyudito ’muyāmūṣito varṣa-pūgānāṁbatāhāni gatāny uta

Translation:

That lady cheated me so much that I did not even see the rising or setting of the sun. Alas, for so many years I passed my days in vain!

Purport:

Due to attachment to the goddess, King Purūravā forgot his devotional service to the Supreme Lord and became more concerned with pleasing this beautiful young lady. Thus he later lamented, having wasted his valuable time. Those who are Kṛṣṇa conscious utilize every moment in the Lord’s loving service.
