10.84.38

vittaiṣaṇāṃ yajña-dānair gṛhair dāra-sutaiṣaṇām /
ātma-lokaiṣaṇāṃ deva kālena visṛjed budhaḥ /
grāme tyaktaiṣaṇāḥ sarve yayur dhīrās tapo-vanam //

38. A wise man should get rid of the thirst for wealth for its own sake by spending it on sacrifices and in gifts; the desire for wife and children only by due enjoyments and the desire for swarga and other celestial abodes, by considering the force of time even upon those regions and on the gods; for all those wise men that have purged themselves of these desires left the village (Deity) for the woods to perform tapas.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
