26. The body for the comforts of which a person nourishes his wife and children, acquires wealth, cattle, servants, houses, and many relations and makes them all grow and amasses riches with great difficulty—that body, like unto a tree, produces a seed of another body for him, and itself perishes at the end.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam

*Another construction.* He who is invested with a body and who, for the sake of its welfare, nourishes his wife and children, gets money, cattle, servants, houses and relations and extends that sphere and who subjecting himself to great troubles, hoards up wealth, is like unto a tree and at the end perishes, leaving behind a seed of karma for the future body.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
