Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 12 - Chapter 1 - Verse 54
Sanskrit:
यश:श्रियामेव परिश्रम: परोवर्णाश्रमाचारतप:श्रुतादिषु ।अविस्मृति: श्रीधरपादपद्मयो-र्गुणानुवादश्रवणादरादिभि: ॥ ५४ ॥
ITRANS:
yaśaḥ-śriyām eva pariśramaḥ parovarṇāśramācāra-tapaḥ-śrutādiṣuavismṛtiḥ śrīdhara-pāda-padmayorguṇānuvāda-śravaṇādarādibhiḥ
Translation:
The great endeavor one undergoes in executing the ordinary social and religious duties of the varṇāśrama system, in performing austerities, and in hearing from the Vedas culminates only in the achievement of mundane fame and opulence. But by respecting and attentively hearing the recitation of the transcendental qualities of the Supreme Lord, the husband of the goddess of fortune, one can remember His lotus feet.
