11.7.73

evaṃ kuṭumby aśāntātmā dvandvārāmaḥ patatri-vat /
puṣṇan kuṭumbaṃ kṛpaṇaḥ sānubandho 'vasīdati //

73. Thus the family man of poor sense who with a heart not yet withdrawn from worldly objects, finds delight only in the married life, like that bird, and nourishes his family, does with all his relations come to grief. 74. That individual who falls upon human life which is the open gate for Mukti, but who like the bird becomes attached to the householder's life is spoken of and considered (by the wise) as one that has fallen from the eminence to which he had attained.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
