10.51.52

karoti karmāṇi tapaḥ-suniṣṭhito nivṛtta-bhogas tad-apekṣayādadat /
punaś ca bhūyāsam ahaṃ sva-rāḍ iti pravṛddha-tarṣo na sukhāya kalpate //

53. ‘He regularly attends to practising tapas and does good deeds; denies himself all pleasures of life and for their sake makes gifts with the one wish, “May I be born again the same imperial ruler.” With this waxing thirst he does not work towards real happiness.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
