Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 3 - Chapter 1 - Verse 29


Sanskrit:

स एवमुत्सिक्तमदेन विद्विषाद‍ृढं प्रलब्धो भगवानपां पति: ।रोषं समुत्थं शमयन् स्वया धियाव्यवोचदङ्गोपशमं गता वयम् ॥ २९ ॥

ITRANS:

sa evam utsikta-madena vidviṣādṛḍhaṁ pralabdho bhagavān apāṁ patiḥroṣaṁ samutthaṁ śamayan svayā dhiyāvyavocad aṅgopaśamaṁ gatā vayam

Translation:

Thus mocked by an enemy whose vanity knew no bounds, the worshipful lord of the waters waxed angry, but by dint of his reason he managed to curb the anger that had sprung up in him, and he replied: O dear one, we have now desisted from warfare, having grown too old for combat.

Purport:

As we see, warmongering materialists always create fighting without reason.
