Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 3 - Chapter 1 - Verse 12

Sanskrit:

भर्तर्याप्तोरुमानानां लोकानाविशते यश: ।पतिर्भवद्विधो यासां प्रजया ननु जायते ॥ १२ ॥

ITRANS:

bhartary āptorumānānāṁlokān āviśate yaśaḥpatir bhavad-vidho yāsāṁprajayā nanu jāyate

Translation:

A woman is honored in the world by the benediction of her husband, and a husband like you will become famous by having children because you are meant for the expansion of living entities.

Purport:

According to Ṛṣabhadeva, one should not become a father or mother unless one is confident that he can beget children whom he can deliver from the clutches of birth and death. Human life is the only opportunity to get out of the material scene, which is full of the miseries of birth, death, old age and diseases. Every human being should be given the opportunity to take advantage of his human form of life, and a father like Kaśyapa is supposed to beget good children for the purpose of liberation.
