6.7.36

akiñcanānāṃ hi dhanaṃ śiloñchanaṃ teneha nirvartitasādhusatkriyaḥ /
kathaṃ vigarhyaṃ nu karomy adhīśvarāḥ paurodhasaṃ hṛṣyati yena durmatiḥ //

36. Indeed the wealth of the poor is to glean the scattered grains of corn; with that means one may here (in the household life) well perform his righteous duties. How could I, O great Rulers, take up the reproachful priesthood at which a man of wretched understanding is rejoiced?

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
