1. [In the human world this body of human beings] is not fit to be given to the miserable pleasures which even beasts and birds enjoy; the divine duty of Tapas on the other hand, O sons, is fit for them, by which the mind becomes pure; and from the purity of mind arises the everlasting happiness.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
