5.18.13

harir hi sākṣād bhagavān śarīriṇām ātmā jhaṣāṇām iva toyam īpsitam /
hitvā mahāṃs taṃ yadi sajjate gṛhe tadā mahattvaṃ vayasā dampatīnām //

13. “Truly the glorious Hari is the direct and main support of all embodied beings just as water is the beloved support of the fish; when a man, though otherwise great, forgets Him (the glorious Hari) and becomes attached to the house, his greatness or worth consists in what couples may claim by advance in age.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
