Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 8 - Chapter 1 - Verse 22


Sanskrit:

क्‍वचिच्चिरायुर्न हि शीलमङ्गलंक्‍वचित् तदप्यस्ति न वेद्यमायुष: ।यत्रोभयं कुत्र च सोऽप्यमङ्गल:सुमङ्गल: कश्च न काङ्‌क्षते हि माम् ॥ २२ ॥

ITRANS:

kvacic cirāyur na hi śīla-maṅgalaṁkvacit tad apy asti na vedyam āyuṣaḥyatrobhayaṁ kutra ca so ’py amaṅgalaḥsumaṅgalaḥ kaśca na kāṅkṣate hi mām

Translation:

Someone may have longevity but not have auspiciousness or good behavior. Someone may have both auspiciousness and good behavior, but the duration of his life is not fixed. Although such demigods as Lord Śiva have eternal life, they have inauspicious habits like living in crematoriums. And even if others are well qualified in all respects, they are not devotees of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
